How to completely [really] remove a user account
Win7 Ultimate x64 on HP DC7600.
I was really surprised that this old Microsoft issue/problem somehow got carried over all the way from the bad old days to new/shiny Windows 7.
I have a main User account with Administrator privileges that is my 'daily driver'.
I recently created a second User Account for Test purposes. [I'm a tech and need to try things sometimes].
A week or so ago I "deleted" the User Account using the proper method... errr... the way MS would have me to, in the UAC settings Control Panel.
Today, due to another issue I am now having [never had before] I got to wondering if the old issue of ever-present zombie User Accounts was in this rig. YES it is. Checked into Documents & Settings and Registry and the account is still there in one state or another.
How do I COMPLETELY eradicate that Account and all its traces?
I need to do this for debug reasons on a Sleep/Wake problem that I never had before.
thx
