    Windows startup login name I need to change.


    Windows 10 Home. Windows version 20H2. I had a brainstorm of an idea to make an Outlook mail account. After I made it I realized it was a bad idea. I hate the account name. It irks me bad. So I go to delete the account which it did, but it left remains scattered here and about in different areas. It is used as my login name when Windows starts and shows the Welcome screen. I need to remove it from my pc. It has administrative rights. I have done my own searching, but can't find anything worth mentioning. A lot of the fixes are for Windows 10 Pro, not Home. Can someone help me with this? Thanks.

    :)
