  1. Signed in with correct MS account -- how 2 remove wrong one


    So I was setting up my new PC and accidentally signed in with wife's MS account. Logged out, signed in with mine, and all looked well UNTIL I learned my user folder is named after wrong account.

    That first folder should read 'scree' from the correct user. When I look up users on this PC I see this --

    The good news is that I'm the big circle and listed as Admin. That parrot represents the wrong account. I can't quite find how to remove it and, if I did, would it fix the 'bills' user folder issue?

    My years on Macs have taught me to be UNBELIEVABLY CAREFUL in this type of situation.

    I've found this --

    How to Change User Folder Name in Windows 10 – 2 Ways

    -- but I fear it's not addressing the 'remove the parrot' user issue.

    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:

    No more sign in with MS Account on install?

    Please excuse the horrible quality and randomness of images. No important images pertaining to the question are missing. But I did skip irrelevant common steps when taking photos, just common stuff.

    At this step, I wasn't given any other choices, this was forced. This also happened disconnected and when skipping key entry.
    I was not given the option to: "Or, even better, use an online account"
