 Often while using the computer we need to copy or transfer a file from one place to another on the hard disk, whether transferring a file from Partition "D" to Partition "C" on the desktop, or from the flash drive to the hard drive. When you want to, you have to select the file and right click to get the option "Copy" for copying and "Cut" for transfer, select the appropriate option and then go to the folder you want to add it to. The problem with this method is that it is difficult when it comes to copying or moving multiple files from different folders, so you will find that it is impractical and wastes a lot of time. In this case, the "Send to" option is usually used to make the command smooth and fast, as you specify the location from the submenu and a shortcut to the specified files is created immediately in the specified location.

How to Delete a User Profile from the Registry and System Properties

بواسطة Abd Al Rahman Al Tell -

We show you how to use Windows 10 to delete a user profile to reset an account without deletion or to aid a complete removal.


        Adding a new account in Windows 10 creates a user profile, a collection of settings and folders that ensure each person on the PC has a unique, customized experience. This also contains all of their documents, saved games, videos, and more. This can take up some space, but fortunately, Windows lets you delete a user profile if you no longer need it or it gets corrupted.

What’s the difference between a user profile and a user account?

It’s worth noting that a Windows 10 user profile and a user account are two separates, but somewhat linked concepts. Though a user profile is created when an account is added to a PC, it’s not always deleted when it’s removed. Likewise, you can remove a user profile without deleting the account from Windows 10 and the login screen. For that.

Deleting a user profile in Windows 10 can be a strong method to reset an account to defaults without the hassle of deleting and adding it again. It can be particularly useful if you suspect there are some settings awry but don’t know exactly where, or just want to have a full clean-out of all the documents and downloads.

There are two methods in Windows 10 to delete a user profile – the registry and advanced system properties. We’re going to show you how to do both today, starting with the most user-friendly option, system properties.

How to Delete a User Profile via Windows 10 System Properties

Before you start this process, make sure the user account you wish to delete is signed out.

1.      Open System Properties
Press “Windows + R” to open the Run dialog, type “systempropertiesadvanced.exe”, and click “OK”


  1. Open the Windows 10 user profile settings
    In the “Advanced” tab, look for the “User Profiles” heading and click “Settings…”.

  2. Delete the Windows 10 user profile
    Windows 10 will now return a list of user profiles linked to certain accounts. You’ll be able to see the name of the account after the PC identifier. Click the account, then press “Delete”.




  3. Confirm the Windows 10 delete user profile action
    Microsoft will then make sure you really want to remove the user profile. You should make sure there are no files or settings you need on that account before you continue. When ready, click “Yes”.

  4. Check the profile is removed from the User Profiles window
    After pressing yes, you should note that the user profile is gone from the “Profiles stored on this computer:” list. Press “OK” to close it.


  5. Log back in to the user account to create a new user profile

    You can create a new user profile for that account at any time by simply logging into it again. When you do so, Windows 10 will show a “This might take several minutes” prompt.


How to Delete a User Profile from the Registry in Windows 10

If the above method doesn’t work, you can delete a user profile from the registry and via Windows 10 File Explorer. First, though, sign out of the user and read up on how to safely edit the registry.

  1. Delete the Windows 10 user profile via File Explorer
    Head to the C:\Users folder and look for the user profile you want to remove. Click it, then press “Delete”.


  2. Press “Continue” on UAC prompt


  3. Open the Registry editor
    Press the “Start” button and type “regedit”, then click “Run as administrator”.


  4. Navigate to the profile list in registry editor

    In the search bar or side menu, navigate to the profile list in registry editor, which is found at:

    Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\ProfileList



  5. Find the account in the profile list registry key

    The profile list registry key will have several SID keys for each user. To find the one you’re looking for, click on each and check the “Data” field next to the “ProfileImagePath” entry.


  6. Delete the user profile registry key
    In the left-hand side menu, right-click the correct user SID and press “Delete”.



  7. Confirm the user profile registry key deletion

    Make sure you’re deleting the key for the correct user before clicking “Yes”.

    How to Fixing Error 0xc00000e9 on WIndows 10?

    How to Fixing Error 0xc00000e9 on WIndows 10? From the error code mentioned in the above post, you may be facing this issue due to the hardware incompatibility or the faulty device drivers installed in the PC. When a device driver is faulty or not working properly, it can be identified by the yellow exclamation mark on the driver in Device Manager. Most of the time updating the faulty drivers will help in resolving the issue. Method 1: Removing the external device and updating the faulty device drivers. Step 1: I suggest you to remove all the external devices connected to your PC except for mouse and keyboard and check if you are able to boot and login into the PC. If your PC should start without any issues, connect the disconnected external device one after the other and check which device is causing the conflict. Update the driver software of that particular device which caused the issue and check if the issue is resolved. Step 2: To update the faulty device driver, follow the steps

    We show you how to open and use Disk Cleanup in Windows 10 and use its advanced mode to free up even more space. It’s smart to buy a small SSD to run your OS, but this can lead to its own problems. All too often, temporary files and deleted items can build up, getting your drive so clogged that it can affect performance. Because of this, Microsoft has created the Windows 10 disk cleanup tool, which you can utilize to free up space on your C: drive or any other drive. Unfortunately, low disk space notifications don’t tend to direct you to this tool, instead taking you to Windows storage settings. This leads many to wonder where disk clean up is in Windows 10. Though it isn’t displayed prominently in the settings app, you can find it quite easily in Control Panel or via the Start Menu. Running Disk Cleanup in Windows 10 can free up space by deleting files that you don’t need. The most savings are often found by deleting previous Windows installations and files left in the recycle b

     How to Unlock the Function Key on a Laptop You can unlock the function key on your laptop. The purpose of a laptop's function key is to activate the secondary function of any dual-purpose key. The function key can accidentally be locked into place if you hit the wrong combination of keys so that all of the keys only perform their secondary function. The exact process for unlocking the function key will vary depending on the make and model of your laptop and whether you have recently used an external keyboard.
