    How do I remove an unwanted user created by Windows

    Hi ssilvermuk,

    My name is Lee. As for how it was created, I have no idea, this is strange.

    To delete, login to your true account and try:

    • Go to Settings > Accounts > Family and Other user > This user account should be listed under Other users

    If it's not listed there, try:

    • Search Control Panel using Cortana and select the Control Panel App

    • Click User Accounts

    • Click remove user Accounts

    • The impostor account should be listed there and you should be able to delete it

    If my suggestion did not solve the issue, please reply back so we can try other step.

    Kind Regards,

    < / L e e >

  3. Removing a "hidden" user and user files

    Thanks for your patience. I was able with "Net User" to remove the left over user. It no longer appears when I invoke Net User.

    Now for the user's folder which remains behind. After performing the series of steps that you suggested, I attempted to delete this folder. The result again was an error message about permission

    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.

    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:
