  1. This PC and User Account


    Thank you in advance for any help you can give to me.


    I'm signed into a Microsoft account.


    In file explorer there is a User Account with my name and This PC. Under my user name are the following folders:

    This PC and User Account c83ccb63-9332-4f6b-a015-80501b4e2fbb?upload=true.jpg

    Under this PC are the following folders:

    Desktop

    Downloads

    Documents

    Pictures

    Videos


    My files in each are different. How can I combine them into either using my "name/user account" or just my pc? This is a big mess. Im the only one using this home computer but cant find my files half the time because of this mess.


    Thank you

    :)

    Remove account


    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:
      Code:
      net user test /del
