  1. Deleted a User on my laptop


    A few month ago I deleted a user on a family laptop. I did not realize the person who's profile I deleted had some photos that they now need. Any way to retrieve or get that profile back?

    :)

    Current active users that are friends

    The other reason I suggested this is that users can add characters to their username that are not alphanumeric (e.g. user*). This confuses things somewhat when looking at the list.
