  1. How to remove an account photo


    I have a Photo on my welcome screen and would like to remove it. If I try " %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\AccountPictures "Then there is no picture to delete in the folder. I tried in
    %ProgramData%\Microsoft\User Account Pictures Also nothing to delete there. Where else can I find that photo hidden?

    :)

    N86 - how to remove an email account?

    I tried that already and in the email settings screen i can see two "items" - these are:



    1 Defaut mailbox (with email address) and

    2 email address.



    The "C" button does nothing on either of these.

  3. N86 - how to remove an email account?

    Hello, this is the second n86 I bought because i was very happy with the first one but it got old. Anyway, I want to delete an email account, I tryed everything that you wrote in this forum but when I press..

    menu-applications-email-settings-(email to remove)-options-remove mailbox

    it starts the procedure but never ends. It goes on and on.

    I would appreciate if you could help.

    Thank you.

    Navigate to C:/Users/your name/Public/PublicAccountPictures and delete the seemingly empty folder with the long name of letters and numbers.

    You can create a blank solid color image in Paint (mspaint.exe) to use.
