    User Account


    I have a new computer going from WIN 7 to WIN 10. When setting it up, I was not aware a 'user' name was going to be tied to my email address. I was able to make my personal name as the Local Admin. However, I am not able to get rid of the User called Frank. That is part of my email address and I do not know how this computer did that.


    I downloaded iTunes and all my music files want to default to user Frank. I want them to default to user PJ. I went to the advanced setting, selected change, the users showing are Frank and Public …


    In the address bar this is what it looks like (folder picture) > PJ > OS (CUser Account :) > Users


    Underneath there are 2 folders, one is Frank the other is Public


    How can I get rid of Frank? I fired him.


    Thank you.

    :)

    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
