In Win 10 I am the administrator. I want to delete a redundant user account, a local account, standard user. Using win settings, I can delete it, but when the computer is restarted the account appears again. What to do?

Hi @bryanwhitlocksconz ,
To delete the local account from Windows 10, the preferred way is to use Computer Management Cosole:
Computer Management Console (compmgmt.msc)

Thanks for the prompt response. I did as suggested and it seemed to do the trick, but when I rebooted, the unwanted user account appeared again as before.

Thanks, Kapil, I got diverted!
The reserved accounts appear to be:
Administrator Account
Default Account "A user account managed by the system"
WDAGUtilityAccount Used by Windows Defender. (I am using Eset)
Any further advice?
