  1. Multiple accounts deletion


    I have multiple user accounts on my laptop. I want to remove one and even though I have done factory set, it still shows up, but more often than not it disappears off the login screen. I've gone through Settings - Accounts and the only account that is showing is the one I want to keep. Any idea why it's showing a "ghost" account at login that comes and goes when it feels like it and has no sign of it on the actual computer?

    :)

    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:
      Code:
      net user test /del

    Multiple accounts deletion

    Deleting multiple documents

    That is simply more steps. What I want is for it to automatically select the next document in the list... so all I have to do is keep hitting delete. I know how to highlight sections or multiple documents... But I shouldn't have to select multiple at
    a time. As it is now, I have to physically select the next document in the list then hit delete.

    For example, in Outlook, I can run down my list of emails for the day and just hit delete. Fast and simple.

    I was once able to do that in Explorer.
