    I was digging through my User's folder to get to AppData and came across the 'defaultuser0' user folder present, dunno if it's bug, or Windows didn't delete it after OOBE. Just for clarification, if it was a hidden folder the icon would have slight opacity, which it doesn't. I'll consider this a bug, but I'm not sure what I should flair it as..

    Defaultuser0

    Hi,

    I will be glad to help you with the issue you have with the user account.

    Defaultuser0 is a system user profile used when Windows is setting up, before any user accounts have been created. It should and usually does disappear after first reboot after installation. If the profile folder remains in Users folder, it's safe to manually
    delete it.

    If you don't need the user account, you can delete it.

    Delete the 'DefaultUser0' folder from C:\Users\

    Delete the 'DefaultUser0' registry entry from:

    HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\

    Click on each of the listed profiles and check the 'ProfielImagePath' entry to verify the associated profile.

    Delete the user with net user defaultuser0 /delete

    Thank you.

    Get rid of Windows 10 defaultuser0

    Hi,

    I realize that it must be difficult for you when things are not working as it should. Sorry to know that you are facing this issue. I will try to help you with this issue.

    I suggest you to follow these steps to remove the user account from your computer and check if that helps.


    • Press “Windows key + R” and type “netplwiz” press Enter.

    • Select the user account (defaultuser0), click the remove button.

    Follow the on-screen directions to complete the process. Once this is done restart the pc for the changes to take place.

    Keep us informed to help you further.

    defaultuser0 in User directory

    Windows 10 defaultuser0

    I found the defaultuser0() folder unders the users folder. So I tried to delete it by opening the control panel->user account, but default user0 was not listed in it (But it was showing in cmd-> net user), so I opened netplwiz->advacned and in it, under
    Advanced user management; I clicked on advanced which opened up lusrmgr.

    In lusrmgr, under the users list I've deleted the defaultuser0 profile, and then when I checked in the C:\Users folder the defaultuser0 folder was still present. So I shift+deleted the folder, and now my question is will it create any new problems to my
    system ?

    After deleting the profile in lusrmgr I also checked the net user command which only showed my account.
