    Login screen name includes a name that doesn't have a user account


    A deleted user account name has started displaying on the Login In screen and I need to find a way to delete it. Does anyone know how to do this?

    Thank you Spunk. My problem is that there is not a user account associated to the one on the login screen. It had already been deleted so none of those options work for me.
