    Folder Name Shows Me Even Though there is only my wife's User Account


    The title says it all. I setup W10 for my wife awhile back. I never created an account for myself just for my wife however when you go into the C:\Users\MyName shows up and not my wife's. I am stumped. The only thing I did when I look in the Accounts and Emails is my outlook account for Office.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    That will be the answer.
    I don't know where you mean by "in the Accounts and Emails".

    Saw that happen once when setting up a new computer with a Microsoft Account when another nearby computer also had a Microsoft Account.
