    Deleting Win 10 child user account without losing data or his games


    Hi,

    How can I remove childs Windows 10 user account, but without losing his data (word documents, photoshop files etc) and without his games etc. ??
    He is now allowed to use my "administrator" login/account to use the computer and I want his files, games, apps, programs etc next to my files, apps programs in Windows.
    How can I do this?

    Thanks!

    :)

    How to delete PC user account of a child?


    Hello. The user account of a child in my family. The account isn't working right - Universal Apps would load - so I wanted to delete it and recreate it. Unfortunately, I cannot find an option to delete the account from the PC - only to "block" it, whatever that means. I read this tutorial: Child Account - Add or Remove from Your Family in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

    But it describes how to remove a child account from a Microsoft account (which I don't want to do because I like the parental controls) - not how to remove a PC child account.

    Is there a way to delete a user account on PC of a child - without removing from the parent's Microsoft account?

    How to delete PC user account of a child?


    You need to take ownership of your old user profile directory before deleting it. You can use the free softwares TakeOwnershipPro or TakeOwnershipEx suggested by NavyLCDR.
