    How to delete an erroneous user


    While setting up a new computer I mistakenly mistyped a user name. I now have a duplicate user Larri in addition to Larrie me with administrator privilege.

The duplicate incorrect folder is smaller and most files have an earlier date.

  2. Erroneous symbols at the bottom left corner of desktop icons

    I'm running Windows 10 with the latest updates. A few days ago, the icons for objects on the desktop changed appearance. The icons are correct but
    all have a symbol at the bottom left corner:

    • Shortcuts show the correct shortcut symbol
    • All files erroneously show a shortcut symbol
    • Almost all folders erroneously show a shortcut symbol
    • Some folders erroneously show "X"

    The icons for files and folders (including the Desktop folder) displayed using File Explorer are all normal.

    I would appreciate any suggestions.
