如果您与家人或朋友共享一台 Windows PC，那么拥有不同的用户帐户是有意义的。除非您想共享您的个人设置（例如您的桌面背景或浏览器书签(browser bookmarks)），否则创建一个新用户帐户会为每个用户提供自己的个人资料。
不幸的是，您的Windows用户配置文件（包含您的个性化数据）有时可能会损坏。如果要删除它，可以完全删除用户帐户。或者，您可以在不删除用户本身的情况下删除Windows 10中的用户配置文件，从而强制(Windows 10)Windows重新生成您的设置。就是这样。
Windows 10 中的用户帐户与用户配置文件(User Accounts vs. User Profiles in Windows 10)
对于大多数用户来说， Windows(Windows)用户帐户和Windows用户配置文件之间没有区别。但是，如果您要删除用户帐户（而不仅仅是用户配置文件），那么了解区别很重要。
Windows用户帐户是您登录时使用的帐户。它包含您的姓名、您的设置、您的桌面图像以及使您的 PC 成为您自己的所有其他功能 - 至少在您登录时是这样。但是，Windows需要将这些设置保存在它知道要查找的位置和格式中并期待。
这些设置构成该帐户的用户配置文件。当您创建一个新帐户时，Windows会自动生成一个新的用户配置文件来匹配，使用标准设置来创建您的背景、主题、用户文件夹（包含您的桌面和文档文件夹）等等。
如果您决定删除用户帐户，Windows应删除该用户配置文件。但是，Windows有时会将文件和设置保留在您的 PC 上，这可能会占用额外的磁盘空间。如果是这种情况，您需要手动删除您的用户配置文件。
您可以决定在不删除用户帐户的情况下删除Windows 10中的用户配置文件。(Windows 10)这是一种技术性更强的方法，但可以帮助解决用户登录问题或缺少个性化功能（例如退出后自定义背景消失）。
删除活动帐户上的用户配置文件会强制Windows将其视为新的。Windows将在您下次登录时生成一个新的用户配置文件文件夹（包含默认设置和文件）以替换已删除的配置文件。
在 Windows 设置中删除用户帐户(Removing a User Account in Windows Settings)
在大多数情况下，从Windows 10中删除用户帐户应该会删除匹配的用户配置文件。如果该帐户是本地帐户（例如，未链接到Microsoft帐户），这应该会清除所有个性化设置和文件。
但是，如果没有，那么您可以通过删除 C:Users 文件夹中的配置文件文件夹来安全地删除配置文件数据。您只能对当前退出的帐户执行此操作，因为您无法删除当前使用的帐户。
- 要开始，请右键单击“开始(Start)”菜单并选择“设置”(Settings)选项。
- 在Windows 设置(Windows Settings)菜单中，选择Accounts > Family & Other Users以查看您 PC 上的活动用户帐户列表。从那里，选择“其他用户(Other Users)”或“您的家庭”(Your Family )类别下列出的帐户之一，然后选择“删除(Remove)”以删除该用户帐户。如果您要删除的帐户是关联的您的家庭(Your Family )帐户（例如受限制的儿童帐户），您可能需要先在Microsoft 家庭(Microsoft Family settings)在线设置中取消关联。
- Windows 将要求您确认。要删除帐户（和匹配的用户配置文件），请选择删除帐户和数据(Delete account and data)按钮。
- 删除用户帐户应该会删除用户配置文件，但如果没有，您可以手动删除它。为此，请打开Windows 文件资源管理器(Windows File Explorer)并使用地址栏访问C:\Users文件夹。如果您看到与已删除用户帐户匹配的文件夹，请右键单击它并选择“删除(Delete)”选项。
- Windows会将用户配置文件文件夹放在回收站(Recycle Bin)中。如果文件夹太满，Windows无法放入回收站(Recycle Bin)，请按照屏幕上的其他说明确认删除。但是，如果Windows将文件夹放入回收站(Recycle Bin)，请右键单击桌面上的回收站图标，然后选择(Recycle Bin)清空回收站(Empty Recycle Bin )选项。
使用系统属性菜单删除用户配置文件(Deleting a User Profile Using the System Properties Menu)
虽然很少见，但Windows用户配置文件有时会损坏。这可能会阻止您完全登录，或导致难以使用的错误和问题，例如缺少用户个性化或登录缓慢。
如果发生这种情况，您将需要删除您的用户配置文件，强制 Windows 在您下次登录时使用标准设置重新生成它。如果您想快速将您的用户帐户恢复为默认设置，您也可以决定执行此操作。
- 首先，使用具有管理权限的第二个用户帐户登录，确保您先退出要删除的用户配置文件。右键单击开始(Start)菜单并选择运行(Run)选项。或者，按键盘上的Windows Key + R键。
- 在“运行”(Run)对话框中，键入systempropertiesadvanced，然后选择“确定(OK)” 。这将打开系统属性( System Properties)菜单。
- 在系统属性(System Properties)菜单的高级(Advanced)选项卡中，选择User Profiles >设置(Settings)选项。
- 您 PC 上的可用用户配置文件列表将显示在“用户配置文件”(User Profiles)窗口中。选择您要删除的配置文件，然后选择删除(Delete)选项。
- Windows 将要求确认，因此请选择“确定(OK)”进行确认。
一旦确认，Windows将删除用户配置文件，保留用户帐户本身不变。当您下次登录时，Windows将创建一个新的用户配置文件，包括一个新的 C:Users 用户文件夹。
删除 Windows 10 用户帐户(Removing Windows 10 User Accounts)
在Windows 10(Windows 10)中删除用户配置文件有助于在帐户损坏且您无法登录时恢复帐户。如果发生这种情况，可能表明您的Windows安装存在更广泛的问题，需要您检查文件系统错误(check for file system errors)。您可能还希望在进行更改之前先备份 Windows 。(back up Windows first)
如果您在没有 Microsoft 帐户的情况下设置了 Windows(set up Windows without a Microsoft account)，则您应用的任何个性化设置都将在您删除配置文件后消失。您可以先将Microsoft帐户链接到您的用户配置文件以同步您的个性化设置，如果您不喜欢您的登录名，您可以接下来更改您的用户名(change your username)。
How to Delete a User Profile in Windows 10
If you’re sharing a Windоws PC with family or friends, then it makes sense to have different uѕer accounts. Unless you want to share your personal settings (like yоur desktop backgrоund or browser bookmarks), creating a new user account gives each user their own separate profile.
Unfortunately, your Windows user profile (containing your personalization data) can sometimes become corrupted. If you want to remove it, you can delete the user account entirely. Alternatively, you can delete the user profile in Windows 10 without deleting the user itself, forcing Windows to regenerate your settings instead. Here’s how.
User Accounts vs. User Profiles in Windows 10
For most users, there isn’t a distinction between a Windows user account and a Windows user profile. However, if you’re looking to remove a user account (rather than just the user profile), then it’s important to understand the distinction.
A Windows user account is the account you sign in with. It has your name, your settings, your desktop image, and all the other features that makes your PC your own—at least when you sign in. However, Windows needs to save these settings in a location and format that it knows to look for and expect.
These settings form the user profile for that account. When you create a new account, Windows automatically generates a new user profile to match, using standard settings to create your background, theme, user folder (containing your desktop and document folders), and more.
If you decide to delete a user account, Windows should remove the user profile with it. Occasionally, however, Windows will leave the files and settings on your PC, which can take up additional disk space. You’ll need to remove your user profile manually if this is the case.
You may decide to delete a user profile in Windows 10 without removing the user account. This is a more technical method, but can help to resolve user sign in issues or missing personalization features (such as a custom background disappearing after sign out).
Removing a user profile on an active account forces Windows to treat it like new. Windows will generate a new user profile folder (with default settings and files) to replace the deleted profile when you next sign in.
Removing a User Account in Windows Settings
Deleting a user account from Windows 10 should, in most cases, delete the matching user profile. If the account is a local account (unlinked to a Microsoft account, for instance), this should erase any personalization settings and files.
If it doesn’t, however, then you can safely remove the profile data by deleting the profile folder in the C:\Users\ folder afterwards. You can only do this for an account you’re currently signed out of as you can’t delete the account you’re currently using.
- To start, right-click the Start menu and select the Settings option.
- In the Windows Settings menu, select Accounts > Family & Other Users to see a list of active user accounts on your PC. From there, select one of the accounts listed under the Other Users or Your Family categories, then select Remove to remove that user account. If the account you’re deleting is a linked Your Family account (such as a restricted child account), you may need to unlink it in your Microsoft Family settings online first.
- Windows will ask you for confirmation. To remove the account (and the matching user profile), select the Delete account and data button.
- Deleting the user account should delete the user profile, but if it doesn’t, you can remove it manually. To do this, open Windows File Explorer and use the address bar to access the C:\Users folder. If you see a folder matching the deleted user account, right-click it and select the Delete option.
- Windows will place the user profile folder in the Recycle Bin. If the folder is too full for Windows to place in the Recycle Bin, follow the additional on-screen instructions to confirm the deletion. If Windows places the folder in the Recycle Bin, however, right-click the Recycle Bin icon on the desktop, then select the Empty Recycle Bin option.
Deleting a User Profile Using the System Properties Menu
While rare, a Windows user profile can sometimes become corrupted. This could stop you from signing in entirely, or cause errors and issues that make it difficult to use, such as missing user personalization or a slow sign in.
If this happens, you’ll need to delete your user profile, forcing Windows to regenerate it with standard settings when you next sign in. You may also decide to do this if you want to quickly return your user account to default settings.
- To begin, sign in with a second user account with administrative privileges, ensuring that you sign out of the user profile you wish to delete first. Right-click the Start menu and select the Run option. Alternatively, press the Windows Key + R keys on your keyboard.
- In the Run dialog box, type systempropertiesadvanced, then select OK. This will open the System Properties menu.
- In the Advanced tab of the System Properties menu, select the User Profiles > Settings option.
- A list of available user profiles on your PC will appear in the User Profiles window. Select the profile you wish to delete, then select the Delete option.
- Windows will ask for confirmation, so select OK to confirm.
Once confirmed, Windows will delete the user profile, leaving the user account itself intact. When you next sign in, Windows will create a new user profile, including a new C:\Users user folder.
Removing Windows 10 User Accounts
Deleting a user profile in Windows 10 can help to restore your account if it becomes corrupted and you’re prevented from signing in. If that happens, it could point to wider problems with your Windows installation, requiring you to check for file system errors. You may also want to back up Windows first before you make changes.
If you’ve set up Windows without a Microsoft account, any personalization settings you apply will disappear once you remove the profile. You can link a Microsoft account to your user profile first to sync your personalization settings and, if you don’t like your sign in name, you can change your username next.
