    Delete User Profile Greyed Out

    Hi, first, I too am on latest 21H2 build and very recently deleted a standard user account whilst logged into my normal admin account.

    Second, if you have already searched tenforums for similar reports, you may have noticed there probably aren't any (well, none I've seen). So I suggest
    is perhaps a premature assumption, although I note your comment about presumably uninstalling certain updates helping you.

    See if this discussion prompts any ideas:
    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...4-34c35e0b7623

    Which account are you actually logged in to, based on the above, when you are trying to delete the other?
    Do you see any message in red mentioning 'your organization'?

    What do you see if you go here:

    - Manage another account ?

    A couple of ideas here:

    Thanks.

    Delete User Profile Greyed Out

    As an administrator I sometimes delete old user profiles on machines. Up until recently I could easily do this with System Settings / About/ Advanced /Advanced tab / User Profiles and then Delete for any of the ones listed. After recent updates were applied now that option has been greyed out. I don’t know why, but I assume this is a mistake on Microsoft’s part. I know it’s updates that causes this because I recall backing off some recent ones and the option to delete returned. But I need to stay relatively current. Have others run up against this? Is there a fix?
