I did that, and it just added another picture but kept the old one too.
When, exactly, do you see the old picture?
Is the old picture one that you've saved to the computer or is it one of te stock images that came with Windows?

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!

2018-05-08T22:37:00+00:00 yes; I added a 2nd picture & use that one now but I don't know how to delete the 1st (old) picture.
See if you can change that picture this way...
Sign out of your account and sign in to the administrator account.
Start > Settings > Accounts > Your info > Create your picture > either create a picture or browse for one. Once you select another picture it should replace the current account picture.

2018-05-03T23:28:08+00:00 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?
