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 ?)

    This is crazy;  why wouldn't this be made so that us users could choose to add or delete a picture as we see fit.  Is Microsoft collecting photos of us for a year book or something?  They are our pictures;  my next computer may be a M.A.C;  first I have to check & see if they are keeping my personal information too!  

    What picture are you trying to change?

    What problem are you having in doing this?

    Which version of Windows?
