Windows 10: Is there a way to merge the files/permissions from one user on a computer to another user...

I have been trying to figure this out for most of the morning.I am in a company IT department and one user inherited both the job/computer of the last person who did her job.On the computer there are two accounts , the one from the user who is gone but current user still needs access and the current user who has done several things in her own account.She has to constantly jump back and forth between accounts and she is finding that frustrating.Is there a way to merge the files/permissions from the old account to the new without overwriting the stuff in the newer account ?Or will I have to d

:)

 

File permissions for another user

Still no joy. Test User can still write to the file. *Sad
This are the steps I have done;

1. Created file in User account
2. Copied file to Test User account
3. Signed into Test User account
4. Right click file
5. Properties > Security > Edit > Add Test User > Allow Read > Deny Write > Advanced > Change Owner to Administrators > To Remove User account had to disable inheritance which removed all accounts except Test User and Administrator
6. Test User can still write to the file!!

Still stuck. Test User still has full control of the file, he can write, modify, cut, copy, paste in fact as if the permissions had not been changed. *Confused
Administrators permissions

 

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.

 

User can't copy files from network share. Permission error.

Seems security essentials wasn't liking the file for the user for some odd reason. Thanks for your suggestions.
