Windows 10: Cannot Delete the default administrator on my win 10 Home

HI Everyone,
I just signed up on this tonight and need help.

I bought this HP Laptop which is only a year old from someone. Still under warranty. Anyway, my problem is that the default owner Brittany++++++ name is on everything. I printed off stuff and even though she had cleaned it pretty good...still she is the default Administrator. Biggest problem is that I cannot download anything because I deleted her folder....but a window do come up and ask if I want to dl it to her file.

I tried various ways to get this gone, to no avail. I tried the command prompt but it says that Access is denied. System Error 5 occurred. I tried the youtube video of going into Computer Management and looked for local user and groups but it is not listed. I do have myself as Administrator. I a m missing something...I am sure. Feeling a little stupid right now.

Ended up messing up settings on my printer too...Got to uninstall that too now. Seems the more I do, the more I am messing up.

Hoping there is someone there that can help me. I know a little on the system to tell you its 4 GB RAM and a 500 GB HDD> 64 bit. Its windows 10 Home. Hope this helps.

:)
