    Delete built in administrator account files


    I enabled the built in administrator account and disabled it, what is the best method for removing all traces of it?

    If it is Disabled there should be nothing visible. I wouldn't get rid of it, can come in handy someday, it has greater capability than a User with Administrative Rights which is why it is hidden, keep it from being used nefariously.

    It is showing the Administrator as Default even though it is disabled.
