Windows 10: How do you delete settings.dat?

Hello, I have a question on how to delete settings.dat. I want to delete it because I was trying to shrink the c partition but it wouldn't let me because of settings.dat. Does anyone know how to delete/disable this file?

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

 

Remove old fingerprint/face from deleted account

Hi,

Windows is specifically configured to keep Windows Hello biometric data secure and hard to tamper with. The data is kept locally on the device and in the event that the associated account is deleted, we suggest using a different finger to setup Windows Hello
again. Just to confirm, have you already tried using the fingerprint from a different finger?

In case you're still unable to set up Windows Hello using a different fingerprint, follow these steps to delete the data:

• Click Start.
• Type Services and select it from the list of results.
• Right-click the Windows Biometrics Service from the list and click
  Stop.
• Open File Explorer.
• Navigate to this location: C:\Windows\System32\WinBioDatabase.
• Delete all the .DAT files in the folder. If you can't see anything in the folder, click the
  View tab in File Explorer and check Hidden Items.
• After deleting the .DAT files, try setting up Windows Hello again.

Let us know if you're able to setup Windows Hello after following these steps.
