    Need To Clean Up (Delete) User Accounts


    Hello folks, I am in great need to clean house. I need to clean up my user accounts and keep only one user. I don't know how I got to this through time. I need to clean up and make a new image of my system again. Please see the attached images for clarity. I need to keep and rename "User2". Any good tutorials, written or video would be well appreciated.
    Hope you all are keeping safe enough in this pandemic era?
    Cheers!

    :)

    Deleting User Accounts

    If you can access the admin account through safe mode then all you have to do to remove the other account passwords is go into User Accounts in the control panel and either delete the accounts or, I'm not sure, remove the account passwords.

  3. Facebook Allows Users to Delete Accounts

    Yes, for quite some time, once you had a Facebook account, it wasn't going anywhere. Now, fortunately for college students and people with no attention span everywhere, Facebook now allows said people to delete their Facebook accounts. This was in direct response to user complaints about not being able to delete their accounts, if desired. Even if users were able to delete their own accounts, there were no obvious directions on how to do that. Another reason that Facebook decided to allow users to delete their accounts was a reason that could have gotten Facebook sued if they did not address it: privacy. The "I didn't actually make a Facebook" E-mails were really racking up in Facebook's inbox, and Facebook sometimes made it all too easy for people to research intimate/private/personal details of users' lives. At this point, deleting your account is just a help-page away. Facebook admins are considering adding a "delete account" button.
