Deleting A User Account Picture

how to Delete a picture in my account I can change

it but I want it blank

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.

Hi Newportlen,

Thank you for Using Micorsoft Windows forum

If you want to delete the administrator picture then you'd have to log into administrator account.

To delete a standard User account picture you may have to edit the registry to delete it.

Follow the steps :

Account Type     Default Picture Location

Users                C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\user.bmpGuest               C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\guest.bmp

    1. Name the image that you want to use to delete .bmp and/or guest.bmp for the account type you want it as the default for.

    2. Make sure that you have Show hidden files and folders selected in Folder Options.

    3. Open a Windows Explorer Window.

    4. Navigate to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\User Account Pictures

        A) For the default logon picture you want to delete, right click on user.bmp or guest.bmp and click delete.

        B) Delete and press Enter, then click Yes, Continue, and Continue.
