My son has an old user profile he needs to delete, when he tries to do this he gets a message saying some user files may be left.....sorry it's a bit vague, but he tells me it will not let him delete it.
is there an alternative method please
thanks
Firstly, deleting user profiles under C:/Users and then selecting "Delete" is extremely dangerous. May I ask why you are deleting a user account?
Not only this, but it can corrupt the profile completely.
Have you already tried deleting it via Control Panel? This should be the ultimate and primary way to delete a user account with as a normal user.
Then
Finally, all you must do is select the account, delete and delete all files with it.
Do you receive any error?
Hello, yes sorry he was doing it from control panel, but it didn't work.....don't think there was an error message....this profile became corrupted and needs removing...
going to try
Delprof2
Delete user profiles from the command line
Download DelProf2 1.6.0 for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows
hopefully that will end the issue
