Does anyone know how I can delete a user account picture? I know how to add or change, but I created a picture for the Administrator, and I now want there to be no picture at all.

Thanks!

    My administrator account photo in windows 10 on my computer.   I added a new photo that I prefer but my unwanted photo remains, even though I went to manage my Microsoft account to edit my profile & in edit I  pressed remove;  the picture went away there but it still shows up as an alternative picture when I reboot my computer.  I just want to remove it all together.  Is just frustrating that I don't get the option to just push a delete button without having to jump through hoops to get rid of it.  (you probably guessed I'm not a tech guy -ha; why not just have a delete options on the photo if you right click or ?)

    Sorry. Lost track of this thread.

    > picture went away there but it still shows up as an alternative picture when I reboot my computer.

    Does this mean that on startup you see your name and picture and the Administrator name and picture? And that you want a different picture for the Administrator?

    That's a disrespectful amount of work you make us do just to delete a user picture.  You should empower us, not throw bricks in our path.

    Are you really trying to delete a picture or simply change your User Account picture?

    It's very easy to change an account picture.
