[ARCHIVED THREAD] - How do I remove a user?

Posted: 10/15/2009 6:13:07 PM EDT

When I start up my computer, on the welcome screen there are two users listed, me and my ex-girlfriend.

How do I remove whatever I need to so that it no longer shows up?

What OS?

I'm assuming windows, so go to control panel and try to find an Add and Remove Users item.

Make sure to delete personal data because it's just taking up space.

press the windows key and "r" at the same time to bring up the run command

type "control userpasswords2"

find the user you want to eliminate, and click remove

this will work with any newer version of windows. You can also create special accounts here too, its pretty cool.
