    I accidentally deleted my main microsoft account file with .bak on it


    I accidentally deleted this file when I tried to fix my pc, because it always says that it can't sign in to my account. It always puts me in a temporary account. Now, whenever I try to sign in on my account which is still directing me into a temporary account, the screen goes black for like 5-10 minutes until I can use my pc. What should I do?

    :)

    accidentally deleted .bak user registry

    Hi

    I had the issue of logging on my windows 10 account and i got the message saying "you've been signed out of the profile and logged on a temporary profile".

    I checked for solutions online and one was to edit registry and deleted temp user registry rename the one with .bak. that didnt work and another solution was to deleted the one with .bak and rename the profilepath of the one without bak to take me to the
    user account. I tried that but it turned out to be a mistake and now all my documents and files from that user name are gone.

    Is there a way to recover this user registry/with my data?

    Please help

    Accidentally Deleted Administrator Account


    I was fed up having to log in a password every time I had to enter my laptop. So I followed some online tutorial and ended up deleting some user accounts on my laptop. I think I accidentally deleted a lot of user profile! I still have to log in with a password to enter my laptop but I have no admin account *Sad

    Remove account

    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
    To delete an account, follow these steps:
    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:
