Hi folks,


Win 7 64 bit

UserA was created on installation.

I ran on Command Prompt;
>net user UserA /delete

and create UserB
>net user UserB password /add

There was no complain. UserB popup on login page. UserA removed.

But I can't delete UserA's folder on;
\Local Disk\Users\UserA as administrator.

It always complained;
this folder is shared with other people

On Command Prompt ran;
>net share UserA /delete
This shared resource does not exist

Please help. TIA


Edit:
==

I found following file being used by another program;

c>dir C:\Users\UserA\AppData\Local|Microsoft\Media Player
....
.... CurrentDatabase_372.wmdb

But I can't delete it on Command Prompt running "del" command

Welcome to the forum! Have you tried to Boot into Safe Mode and delete from there?

Stop the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service and you will be able to delete it without having to use Safe Mode
