    [Solved] Delete "Ghost" Account?

    It wont show a users folder until its been logged in

    Note: When you want to delete a user account from your computer:

    You must be signed in as an administrator to be able to delete a user account.

    You will not be able to delete a user account that is currently signed in. You will need to sign out the user first.

    Be sure to always have at least one enabled administrator account on the PC to avoid not being able to perform actions that require administrator rights.

    Step 1: Steps to Remove a User Account in Settings

    Press Windows key, click on Settings.

    Click on Account, click on Family and other users.

    Select the user you want to delete under Other users and click on Remove.

    Accept the UAC (User Account Control) prompt.

    Select Delete account and data if you wish to delete account and the data and follow onscreen instructions.

    OR

    Step 2: Steps to Delete a User Account in Command Prompt

    Press Windows + X keys from the keyboard, select Command Prompt (Admin).

    Type net user and hit Enter to list the user accounts on your device.

    Type net user "User account " /delete and hit Enter to delete the user account.

    I got these suggestions from the Microsoft Community forum.No. 1 worked for me:

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.
    We have reproduce the issue here and we are able to access non-regional search for google using Microsoft Edge.

    2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
    3. Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.
    Step 2:
    I suggest you to create a new user account and check if the issue occurs.

    1. Go to Settings.
    2. Choose Accounts and then select Family and other users.
    3. Select add someone else on this PC.
    4. Enter a user name and hit next.
    5. Click on Finish.
    6. Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.
