    I have followed the instructions Microsoft gives for a reset multiple times and it does absolutely nothing to remove personal information from users files section (c:/users/_______, etc) or from browsers, and keeps all files on the desktop.

    is there a REAL reset function that works similar to how formatting and reinstalling a clean copy of windows on a new hard disk drive used to work?

    :)

    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
