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!

    Here is more information about my situation;

    So I opened my new Inspiron 17 5000 (Dell),

    Playing around with it, I made a photo for my profile picture (not using the Microsoft web)and a video too (not using the web). I went to the website to delete my photo, I did that, but, in my computer it didn't do anything. The web didn't show the video I made. I tried to find a way how to do it in my computer. Unfortunately,  I didn't  find a way. And I need help.

    OK. I think you're wanting to delete a Windows 10 account picture.

    Try the procedure posted by Lynnwalters_964 on page 2 of this thread.

    You will need to be able to see Hidden and System files. Do that this way...

    Search Cortana for File Explorer Options and open that.

    On the View tab, check Show hidden files, folders & drives and uncheck

    Hide protected operating system files. Then try the Lynnwalters_964 procedures.

    It's complicated. Post back here if you need help with it.

    Hi,

    We need more information.

    Are you referring to a profile picture that appears when you sign in to Windows?

    Which version of Windows?

    When I look at this file it is empty.  The path works but empty file.

    Try Start > Settings > Accounts > your account.
