  1. Wrong syntax in net user /delete


    I was trying to mess with my VM a little and I tried to delete NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM on it. But all it does is tell me that there's a syntax error. Can someone please explain this to me? Is the account just impossible to delete? Wrong syntax in net user /delete c1107edc-1666-493f-8ee4-ec73b4eeede6?upload=true.png

    :)

  3. wrong user at startup

    Thanks for keeping us in the loop, Douglas. The next solution is to delete the user account from the command prompt. Here are the steps:

    • Press Windows + X keys.
    • Select Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Type net user and hit Enter to get the list of the user accounts.
    • Type the following command and hit Enter to delete the user account:
    net user name of the user account you want to delete /delete

    Keep us updated with the results. We'll provide you additional solutions in case the same thing occurs.

    Removing a "hidden" user and user files

    Thanks for your patience. I was able with "Net User" to remove the left over user. It no longer appears when I invoke Net User.

    Now for the user's folder which remains behind. After performing the series of steps that you suggested, I attempted to delete this folder. The result again was an error message about permission

    "Administrators" appears on the list in the list of advanced security.
