If you have a bunch of user accounts on your Windows PC that you don’t need anymore, it may be time to clean them out. Today we’ll take a look at how to delete a user account in Windows.RELATED:NOTE: If you’ve you want to delete, you will not be able to delete it because it’s completely hidden from everywhere. You must show the account again before deleting it. Also, you will need to log into an account that has administrative privileges to delete user accounts. You cannot delete accounts from within a standard user account.
First: Back Up the User’s Data, If You Need ItThe process of deleting an account is relatively easy, but you might want to back up their files and settings in case you need them again. Each user’s account settings and data are in the C:Users folder under their user name. Back up the user’s folder to another location or an external drive before deleting the account.
