You are using a different system than me because when I hit which account i want to change it only allows me to turn it on or off or change the picture.
what is the problem with my system
I have two user accounts. Both are Administrator accounts. I want to delete one. However, the option “Delete the Account” does not show up in the list of options when I select the account that I want to delete. It is available for the account I want to keep, but that does not help me. I want to delete the other account. Why is the delete option unavailable on one account and not the other?
I have the same problem, how to do ?
Can’t delete the first user account which is also administrator
Thanks.
Same problem here. Windows 7 pro. Delete user account does not show up as an option…….
1. Create another administrator account and then log off current account.
2. Login using the newly created account.
3. Use the above method (manage other accounts) to remove the old admin account, you’ll see the delete option.
