    Sorting out my users/folders


    Yeah. But what I'm saying is that my renaming of my "x" user must not have been done in perhaps the 100% correct way, because it did not get renamed when looking at the users with lusrmgr.msc. I wasn't even aware of lusrmgr.msc until yesterday. So I'm wondering if this is some kind of "higher authority" when renaming users than a simple command line rename. Even though I have been logged in and using the renamed account.

    But anyway. This hasn't resolved the problem. I did say that I'd have to wait a couple of days to see if it truely worked. And when I woke up this morning, User "x" was back again. Grrrr. So this seems to be happening all by itself, even when I'm not using the computer. I'm still suspecting Chrome. I'm going to try deleting it again and reinstall it, now that I've renamed "x" in lusrmgr.msc

    OK. Another week or more gone by, and deleting Users\x and all it's subfolders Users\x\AppData\Local\Temp\BCLTMP\ every day. Sometimes more than once a day. Then I bought System Mechanic, not because I was thinking of this problem, but thinking it might be/is a pretty good cleanup program. I was kinda shocked that it found 1900+ things to correct in total for a machine which is less than 2 months old. And to be honest, not used much, although it's on 24hrs/day. I studied everything it was going to delete very carefully. One thing it said was either/or Explorer or Edge were trying to access this path. Even though neither program has been opened. But it probably was reporting from day 1 of the machine. I also did not allow it to delete anything I was unsure of (about 3 or 4 items). However the only 2 folders below \BCLTMP\ were always \edge and \chrome (as well as Firefox until I stopped using it). Which was why I was always suspecting Chrome. Anyhow. I let System Mechanic do it's work. IMHO. It did a good job. And since running this application, Users\x has not once resurfaced in about 2-3 days. Which is fantastic news, if it stays that way. I don't have 100% certainty why this user\path was continually created blank. But it seems (at least for the last 2-3 days) that System Mechanic has resolved the problem. I also do not have 100% certainty why this was ever/even a problem. But I hope I've seen the last of this problem *Smile
