    How do I remove all permissions from admin?


    Hi

    I let a tech into my computer. He left a file folder on This PC. Going thru that I see that he has permission to all my files and programs. I hope he cant get in unless I allow him but since it was a scam I have my doubts.

    My question is how do I get this off my computer? How do I change the permissions? I have gone to admin but cant figure out what to do. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated! Thanks

    Vanessa

    :)

    Remove account


    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
    To delete an account, follow these steps:
    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:
      Code:
      net user test /del

    Admin Permissions

    If I were to go into my unelevated Admin, and sign in with an MS acciunt will it remove my Admin permissions??

    If it does remove permissions, what do i do to stop that?

    If it does not remove permissions MS, your the best!
