    Can't find where to delete other user account from Win 10


    When I boot my PC, there are 2 options for sign in - one account that I use with a pin to login lets call it A and another with a username and password that I can't remember B. My PC automatically tries to log me in to the 2nd one, fails, then I have to go back and switch accounts before entering my pin. I want to remove account B from my PC but can't find anywhere in settings to add/remove these users. I've tried looking in family and other users but there are no accounts there. I've also tried Win Key + R > control typed > user accounts > add or remove user accounts and only account A is there.


    Can anyone advise on the issue/solution? TIA

    :)

    Remove account

    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
    To delete an account, follow these steps:
    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:

    Deleting User Accounts

    If you can access the admin account through safe mode then all you have to do to remove the other account passwords is go into User Accounts in the control panel and either delete the accounts or, I'm not sure, remove the account passwords.

    Facebook Allows Users to Delete Accounts

    Yes, for quite some time, once you had a Facebook account, it wasn't going anywhere. Now, fortunately for college students and people with no attention span everywhere, Facebook now allows said people to delete their Facebook accounts. This was in direct response to user complaints about not being able to delete their accounts, if desired. Even if users were able to delete their own accounts, there were no obvious directions on how to do that. Another reason that Facebook decided to allow users to delete their accounts was a reason that could have gotten Facebook sued if they did not address it: privacy. The "I didn't actually make a Facebook" E-mails were really racking up in Facebook's inbox, and Facebook sometimes made it all too easy for people to research intimate/private/personal details of users' lives. At this point, deleting your account is just a help-page away. Facebook admins are considering adding a "delete account" button.
