Cannot delete windows 7 user account

Two options would be presented below to describe two major ways by which user accounts can be deleted on a Windows 7 computer. This method is only applicable when the user has administrative access to the computer. The first thing to do before deleting a user account is to back up the data associated with the account.

The reason for backing up the data is to ensure that the settings are kept safe, in case they are needed again by the users. However, not all files can be backed up easily from this folder. Therefore, it is advisable to manually back these files up to another folder asides the desktop folder. Log in to the computer with an administrative account.

Search for User accounts on the search bar on the Start menu. Click on User Accounts to bring out the Manage another account icon on the next page. The next page that will be displayed on the screen will give options of accounts available for changes. Select the user account that would be deleted. Click the Delete the account link to delete the chosen account. It is advisable to do this manually before deleting the account as instructed earlier.

Click Delete account button on the Confirm Deletion window to delete the user account. The use of Passper WinSenior software to delete user accounts in Windows 7 computers is very easy and very reliable. This method is applicable for users who do not have administrative access to the computer. With this method, even if the user no longer remembers the password to the administrative account on the system, the Passper WinSenior software can still regain access for the user, allowing for the deletion of an existing user account.
