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


"Administrators" appears on the list in the list of advanced security.

 

reset all permissions for windows 10 and remove any unwanted hidden users

Hi Richard,

If the user that you don't want to have access on your files is added as one of the Windows user, you can just remove him/her by following the steps below:

• Right-click Start, then choose Control Panel.
• Select User Accounts, then User accounts again.
  
  
• Click Manage User Accounts.
• Select the user you want to remove, then click Delete the account.

You must be signed in as an administrator to be able to delete a user account.

If you want to change the permission of each folder, you can do the following:

• Launch Windows Explorer.
• Right-click on a folder, then choose Properties.
• Go to Security tab.
• Click Edit under Groups or user names section.
• Highlight the user you want to remove, and click Remove.

Update us on the result.

Regards.
