Can I delete user accounts from my PC?

Question

Is there a way I can delete user accounts from my PC? My older brother went to uni last year and has recently given me his old PC. It's actually a very good comp, but it's got his user account on it aswell as four of his friends accounts on it. They're all taking up a lot of memory. Is there any way I can delete them? They're not password protected.

Answer 1

Go to User Accounts in the Control Panel and delete them.

BTW they take up Disk Space, not Memory.

Answer 2

Yes (Assuming Its XP) Login To Each User account, Go To Start > Control Panel > User Accounts (Or Something Like That) > Click On The User name And Delete.

Answer 3

They should not be taking up any memory whatsoever.



It would help if you included the O/S, so I'm going to have to give you general steps rather than really specific ones.



Right-click on My Computer. Scroll to Manage. Open Local Users & Groups. Open the users folder. Delete the profiles no longer required. Make sure you leave an active profile for you to use. Close the window.



Then right-click on My Computer. Scroll to explore. Expand the C drive. Expand documents and settings, or users depending upon your O/S. Delete the user folders. Make sure you don't delete yours.

Answer 4

in your case x 4

when done do a system clean up and a defrag

to smooth things
