Windows 10: Delete user profiles Group Policy Deleting Admin Account

I work in a large organisation where many different users log in to our Windows 10 (1607) based PCs on a daily basis.

Due to this I have enabled the Delete user profiles older than a specified number days on system restart Group Policy under Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\User Profiles to stop the hard drive from clogging up.

This seems to work however, it also deletes the admin account if this has not been accessed within the timeframe I have set. As a result, the admin account is recreated.

Is there any way to only allow user accounts to be deleted whilst leaving the admin account untouched?

Thanks in advance.

Cortana on Windows 10 - Disabled by Company Policy

Other in our domain are not disabled due to a group policy. I am also logging in via companydomain\user, not user@companydomain.

What are the specific group policy items that could disable an account?

I also tried deleting a Microsoft account linked to my profile. No help.

 

Windows 10 - How to Enable Windows Explorer File Deletion Confirmation

What about using Shift + Delete hotkey? Click on a OneDrive file or folder and then press Shift + Delete. If you're still not getting the delete confirmation box, try to change a setting in Local Group Policy Editor. Type
gpedit.msc into the search box and hit Enter. Navigate to
User Configuration \ Administrative Templates \ Windows Components \ Windows Explorer, and then double click on
Display confirmation dialog when deleting files. Enable it to make sure it is always turned on. Close the Local Group Policy Editor and check if it makes any difference.

If it is still not working, let's check if the issue is caused by a corrupted user profile. User profile can become corrupted because of a lot of things. The good thing is you can always create a new user profile and transfer the files from your old user
profile to the new one.

Try to create a new user profile with administrator privileges or if you have a spare admin account, you can log in to that account and create a new user account.

Once you have verified that the issue was due to a corrupted user profile, you can transfer your data from the old user account to the newly created one.
