    How to remove a user folder under C:\Users\. ?


    First show the picture of the folders under "C:\Users\.":My question is, "How can I delete the file named TEMP and TEMP.MSI?"A. The current profile situation:I have only 2 user-account in the computer now, which is "Default" and "HsuChaChuen".This information is checked in multiple ways:From Settings->Accounts->Family and other users, I can only see one account under other users.With command "wmic useraccount", I can see 5 accounts but not include with TEMP and TEMP.MSI. And only the "Default.MSI" and "HsuChaChuen" is Enabled.Open the Registry with "regedit" under Runs Box, I saw the bel

  2. Removing a "hidden" user and user files

    Thanks for your patience. I was able with "Net User" to remove the left over user. It no longer appears when I invoke Net User.

    Now for the user's folder which remains behind. After performing the series of steps that you suggested, I attempted to delete this folder. The result again was an error message about permission

    User's folder is not present in c:\\Users

    Putting aside your somewhat random use of forward, backward, and double slashes, please explain the difference between:

    • In Windows 7 Window Explorer, one cannot view the UserName folder
      in c:\\Users
    and

    • UserName folder, normally viewable from c://Users, can be still be viewed and fully accessed from UserName's Desktop
      via Window's Explorer
    Click Start, type C:\Users into the Search box, and press Enter

    Please list everything you see. If you would rather not reveal actual user names, use UserA, UserB, UserC, etc. Please mention whether view hidden files and folders is enabled or not.

    Is the name of one (or more) users missing from the list of items?

    Navigate to any document in the "UserName folder" that you can't see in C:\Users, then right-click and select Properties.

    What is shown as the document's "Location"? Again, if you want to use UserA rather than the actual name, that's OK.
     
  4. How to remove a user folder under C:\Users\. ?

    problem removing a user in c:/

    I'm trying to remove a user (who is a previous administrator of laptop} in c:/ but have problems with it.

    -> You can use administrative tools to achieve your aim:

    1. Log on under an admin account.
    2. Open an elevated Command Prompt (cmd.exe).
    3. Type these commands and press Enter after each:

      cd \Users

      dir

      (to see the names of the user profile folders)

      rd /s /q "John Doe"

      (to remove John's user profile folder)

      net users

      (to see all account names)

      net user "John Doe" /del

      (To delete John's account)
    Warning: both actions are irreversible.
