    Removing an user from my computer, will delete their files if they are being shared with...


    on my computer i have two users, they are both mine but different emails. the second user account i did it because i wanted to use my real email. now the files photos videos etc from my first user profile are being shared to my second user profile. if i delete/remove the first user profile, will the files that are being shared with the second user profile be deleted/removed as well?


    also if there is any way i can keep the first user profile and simply change the email on the user profile, i'll gladly do that instead of creating another user profile.


    i know its a bit confusing but i don't know what to do.

    :)

  2. 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

    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:

    Cannot access shared network drive


    I could scream! so much time wasted on this stupid error, as if time is not precious enough!
    It probably would work fine if I could see the other computer! But I cannot see the other computer!
