How to Easily Delete a User Profile in Windows 7
Occasionally you might login to a different computer with a domain account. Depending on your Active Directory configuration, your profile may be downloaded and stored on that computer, including documents, settings, and other configuration data. That can add up to a lot of wasted storage, not to mention the potential for an unauthorized person to discover your data.
For instructor-led Windows 7 training, see our complete course schedule.
The easiest way to deal with this is simply to delete the profiles when you’re finished. Here’s how to do it in Windows 7.
- Open Control Panel.
- Click the System icon.
- On the left side, click Advanced system settings as shown in Figure 1.
- In the Advanced tab, in the User Profiles section click Settings. This will display the User Profiles dialog as shown in Figure 2.
- Select your user profile and click Delete. If prompted, click Yes to confirm.
That’s it! The profile is gone.
Enjoy!
