Windows 10: Paint Administrator access error

I just created a painting in paint app, but when I tried to delete it it said you need to provide administrator access even though I am logged in my personal account which has the administrative privileges. I tried to go in properties-security and allow everyone to have ownership but still this problem occurs. Any help?

net user administrator /active:no keeps saying access denied.

Hi Rebekah,

It's possible that you're not using an elevated command prompt, causing the Access Denied error. We suggest following these steps to properly disable the built-in administrator account:

• Right-click the Start button.
• Choose Command Prompt (Admin).
• Copy and paste net user Administrator /active:no and press
  Enter. If the command isn't successful, please post a screenshot so that we can study it further.

Let us know if you're able to hide the administrator account after following these steps.
