How Do I Completely Delete All Data Releted To A Deleted User?

Hi, I’m Nicole, I’ll be happy to help you out today.

To completely delete all data related to a deleted user on Windows 10, you can follow these steps:

Log in as an administrator account: To remove the data of a deleted user, you must log in as an administrator account. If you are not logged in as an administrator, log out and log back in as an administrator.

Delete the user account: Open the "Settings" app by pressing the Windows key + I, click on "Accounts", and then click on "Family & other users". Select the user account you want to remove, and click on "Remove". Follow the instructions to delete the user account.

Delete the user's files: After you have removed the user account, you need to delete the user's files. Open File Explorer and navigate to the following location: C:\Users\username. Replace "username" with the name of the deleted user account. Delete all the files and folders in this location.

Delete the user's registry keys: Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box. Type "regedit" and press Enter to open the Registry Editor. Navigate to the following location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList. Find the registry key that corresponds to the deleted user account, and delete it.

Empty the Recycle Bin: After you have deleted all the user's files, make sure to empty the Recycle Bin to permanently delete the files.

Run disk cleanup: To free up any additional space that may still be occupied by the deleted user's files, you can run the Disk Cleanup utility. To do this, open File Explorer and right-click on the drive where the user's files were stored. Click on "Properties", and then click on "Disk Cleanup". Follow the instructions to free up space on the drive.

By following these steps, you should be able to completely delete all data related to a deleted user on Windows 10.

Data of 50 Million MegaUpload Users To Be Deleted

Let's face it, to think that every MegaUpload user has copyrighted content uploaded on the site is like saying everyone going to work at Capitol Hill is naughty (did we just say that?). Regardless, data uploaded by as many as 50 million users faces deletion this week due to non-payment of MegaUpload's dues to its third-party hosting providers.

This data could be anything from precious legitimate online data backups to the alleged copyrighted content, including data backups by paid subscribers. This, even before the users could have a chance to download their data as the site went offline abruptly on the 19th of this month. Before similar services such as Yahoo! Briefcase went offline (because the company discontinued the service), users were notified, and had a chance to download their data, as it faced deletion. MegaUpload had as many as 150 million registered users.

Explanations for deleted posts?

Like I said, it makes no sense in letting users see deleted posts, even if they are their own. That's why they were deleted in the first place. If they get to see who specifically deleted it, it only serves one purpose. Lets them bitch.
