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!

    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.

    It doesn't sound like you are trying to delete or change a user account picture. Please explain what you're wanting to do.

    1. Which version of Windows?
    2. Where are these pictures?
    3. What problem are you having in simply deleting the pictures?

    I'm very sorry Don,

    your help did not help.

    I did exactly what you wrote to me, I did not find the video I've made as my profile picture on my computer. Can I do something in settings on my computer to delete the video?

    Just to verify... We're talking about the image that appears on the logon screen, right?

    Try replacing the video. Start>> Settings> > Accounts> > your account> >Your info> > Create your picture (or replace your picture or something similar)> > Browse for one.
