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!

    That is a little too complicated, why is it so difficult to remove a picture?

    I don't think that you can have no picture, but you could create an image that's just a square filled with a solid color, even white.

    To get white, go to google.com, open your snipping tool and snip a square section of the white background. Save that and select it as the account picture.

    To create a solid color square picture, open Paint.

    Select the square shape tool. Create a square and fill it with the color of your choice. Save it and select it as the account picture.

    I tried these steps but maybe I missed something here.  How do you do this for Windows 10 step by step?  Thank your for your assistance!

    Hi Microsoft support,

    I have followed the instructions to supplied by Azeez

    1. in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\User Account Pictures there was no preview so I couldn't see what to delete
    2. So deleted all of them

     3. The offending picture is still there when I look at my account profile.

    Please advise what to do to get rid of it.

    Regards
