Windows 10: How to forget old User Profile name.

So I really just want a clean slate but there's this one singular thing that persists and won't let itself be deleted and it is theUser Profile Namelike the name for the folder/profile in the Users folder Users/'name'/Appdata etc.I thought Resetting my PC was good enough but like, somehow the computer still remembers what my name was... And I don't know what else to do. I'm not restoring from any back ups so I'm stumped.

Changed device name but user name remained unchanged

Hi Norbert,

Changing the device name may take effect after restarting your computer. It's like making some changes to your computer and needs a restart or reboot for the changes to take effect. However, we suggest that you check if the old user profile are still on
your computer. Here are the steps on how to do so:

• Signed out from the profile that you want to change or remove.
• Go to System Properties.
• Press the Windows + R on your keyboard, then yype in SystemPropertiesAdvanced.exe on the dialogue box.
• Once done, click on Settings button under User Profiles.
• Choose the user profile that you want, then click on delete if it's still there.
• Click Yes to confirm.

We're looking forward to your feedback
