can't remove corrupted user account

[Guest jbclem]

Both my administrator and a personal user account are corrupted. Everytime

I boot up I'm in a temporary user account. I've removed the personal user

account and added a new personal one(with administrator permissions). After

rebooting into the new personal one, I tried to add another personal user

account using the name of the corrupted one. But I get an error message

saying that I can'tl add this user name because it "already has permission

to use this computer".

 

Apparently removing the user account wasn't enough. Does anyone know what I

have to do to completely remove this account so that I can use the same name

again?

Re: can't remove corrupted user account

 

I suspect that you only removed the profile in the System Properties

Profile tab. Open the Local Users and Groups snap-in and remove the

user account there. To open the snap-in enter lusrmgr.msc in the

Start Menu Run box.
