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!

    go into settings /then account settings and on the bottom of the page you have options  to change or search for photo and that's the way i changed it 

    I use a photo from my android phone that i uploaded to my pc  for my photo

    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?

    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.
