Windows 10: How Do I Restore My Previous Admin Account?

I was attempting to change my main admin account on my desktop to my own microsoft account because my mom's account had been assigned as admin for some reason. I was able to set my account to the main admin, but in doing so accidentally deleted the original admin and all the files that were on my computer under the previous admin account. I'm trying to restore my files and disable her account without my stuff getting deleted again.

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:

 

How to change admin user account name?

ah so main admin account is 'wizzle' which is what I am currently on
I make another account called 'wizzle2' (with admin rights)
I sign out of 'wizzle' and sign into 'wizzle2'.
And once signed into 'wizzle2', then I do the command prompt step and find the SID for 'wizzle' that is listed and go from there?

 

prioritize Admin accounts list in UAC

Colin,

I have always though that the first Admin account suggested was the last one to have been used to authorise a previous Admin challenge. But that might have changed given what you are seeing.

Does what you are seeing possibly match it first listing the one that was most recently logged in to?

Other than seeing if manipulating these factors helps [last one to authorise, last one to log in], I don't think you will find a way of doing what you want.
