Windows 10: Can't delete an administrator account from Windows 10

So recently after getting a new MacBook Air, I've been removing apps from my Dell PC and migrating to Apple. Since the PC I use is shared with two other users, I've been working on deleting my admin account. However, as I am the user who's been admin ever since the computer was bought, I've been logging onto other users' account and granting them admin privileges to delete my admin account. Unfortunately, this failed, and there is no option to delete my account; in Settings, in the Control Panel and in the User Accounts panel. Is there a fix for this?Thanks,SimplyA_Coder

Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

Look at this thread,How to Delete a User Account in Windows 10, it may help. You can try the various methods.
Make sure you are using an administrative account when removing the account or log on using the Administrator's account.

Or, if you are patient and know what you are doing, manually remove it.

Either way, Goodluck.

 

Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

Unfortunately I had done those steps numerous reboots, it just, reappears for no good reason. The base account isn't even a Microsoft account, it's a local account.

I haven't quite tried the built in administrator account on W10, but so far in my experience on my own computer, the built in account seemed to have absolutely no more control than I did on my own.

It's just strange, I go in, it warns me twice about deleting the account, then it's gone. Reboot, and it's back?

EDIT: Just to specify, both command line and Netplwiz both say only HIS account exists on the computer, it doesn't list this rogue account. This is what I meant in my first post about the fact that even Windows doesn't seem to believe it exists, HALF the time. *Frown
