    Deleting Desktop Accounts


    I have two desktops with Windows 11, Attempting to remover the account from the systems that were original set up with. See image. Upper account. Per the community, deleting the accounts are not as easy as directed. As the accounts do not have the option to remover/deleted. Only the secondary emails accounts that I need as the default. Please advise.

    :)

    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.

    Deleted icons stay on desktop (not in desktop folder)

    I can only suggest that you
    1 Add a list of steps you have already taken.
    2 Add a comment about restarting the computer. Do the deleted icons disappear then?
    2 Add a comment explaining if any Desktop items do delete correctly and whether or not there are any significant differences between those that do delete correctly and those that don't.
    3 Add a list of any OS tweaks you have done & any third-party OS-related utilities you have run.

    I assume you have already reinstalled your display driver.
    I don't see a Repair install as being relevant. Repair Install - TenForumsTutorials
