Back-up error ivm defaultuser0 (Windows 10)

Hi Ingrid,

Defaultuser0 is a user account neither part of any user group nor it have any profile. Considering these, it is safe to remove it. There’s a possibility that the error occurs because the folders are not present
on the computer.

Before removing it, we suggest that you Create a local user or
administrator account in Windows 10 and copy the important files on the new user account.

Go to the Advanced User Accounts Control Panel, and check if the
defaultuser0 is present there. If yes, we need to remove it. You can follow the steps below:

• Open the Run Box (right click on the
  Start button and select Run).
• Type netplwiz and click OK.
• You will see this window. Select defaultuser0 and click
  Remove.

If the defaultuser0 is not listed on the box. We’re going to use the command prompt to do it.

• Type cmd on the Cortana/Search bar. Right click on
  Command prompt and click Run as administrator.
• Click Yes on the pop up of User Account Control.
• Type net user /deleteuser0 and hit
  Enter.

After deleting the defaultuser0, please try to back up again.

We’ll keep an eye for your response.

 

Defaultuser0

Hi,

I will be glad to help you with the issue you have with the user account.

Defaultuser0 is a system user profile used when Windows is setting up, before any user accounts have been created. It should and usually does disappear after first reboot after installation. If the profile folder remains in Users folder, it's safe to manually
delete it.

If you don't need the user account, you can delete it.

Delete the 'DefaultUser0' folder from C:\Users\

Delete the 'DefaultUser0' registry entry from:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\

Click on each of the listed profiles and check the 'ProfielImagePath' entry to verify the associated profile.

Delete the user with net user defaultuser0 /delete

Thank you.
