Windows 10: Delete User Profile

Windows 10: Delete User Profile

By Mel Hawthorne 1 Comment

Removing unnecessary Microsoft Windows 10 user profiles from your computer can be pretty useful if you have too many user profiles, or ones that you don’t use any more.


In order to remove a user account in Windows 10, open the Settings app, and click on the “Accounts” section.

Windows settings app

In the accounts section, go to the “Family & other users” tab to see a list of other users and select the user you want to remove.

Select a user to remove

A popup will appear asking you to confirm if you want to delete the account and all their data. Verify that you’re deleting the right user, as this cannot be undone, before hitting delete.

Delete the user

Depending on your Windows security settings, you might get a Windows security UAC prompt, to verify that you want to use administrator permissions to access the “Family & other users” tab and when you click “Remove” to open the “Delete account and data?” box.

    Hello,
    Unfortunetly it didn’t work.
    When I open any microsoft app, windows security gives me window to sign it with my work email. When I went into setting , “family and other users, it doesn’t show me my work email.
    Is there any other way to delete that account?
