We have two ways to delete that: use System Management and use Registry Editor. I will turn into detailed instructions shortly, you can choose any way.

#first. Delete user profiles using System Management (recommended)

+ Step 1: You open the Run dialog box with the key combination Windows + R up => and enter the command line SystemPropertiesAdvanced => okay ENTER to open the window System Properties.


Or You can also open manually by right-clicking This PC => select Properties. In the new window => you select the line Advanced system settings then open the window System Management as above.


+ Step 2: In the window System Properties hey, go to the tab Advanced Settings then select User Profile to view and manage user profiles available on the computer.

If you use the command in a Windows Run window, this step is not necessary.

Note: Correcting the Registry incorrectly is very easy to cause errors for the entire Windows system, causing you to reinstall the operating system, lose data and take time, so you need to back up the Registry before proceeding!

+ Step 1: You use the Windows Run window (Windows + R) => and enter regedit => then ENTER.


+ Step 2: You access the directory ProfileList in the Registry by going to the manual. Or copy => and paste this link in the address box and then ENTER (if you are using Windows 10):

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE Microsoft Windows NT CurrentVersion ProfileList

In this folder, click on the long-named folders as we highlight in the image.
=> Then check the lock ProfileImagePath, see section value (Data) yes exactly the directory name of the user profile you want to delete (C:/Users/*) or not.
Usually the following folder name C: Users will match the user profile name always.
If you are not sure, you can go straight to the directory C:Users to check for sure. Remember to determine it carefully because deleting it can cause an error and force you to reinstall your operating system!


+ Step 3: If you have identified the correct user profile folder in Registry => right-click on it => and select Delete is done!


If you want to delete all user profiles on your computer, delete the folders included C:Users and then come back here and delete all the corresponding folders.
