What’s the difference between a user profile and a user account? It’s worth noting that a Windows 10 user profile and a user account are two separate, but somewhat linked concepts. Though a user profile is created when an account is added to a PC, it’s not always removed when you delete a user account in Windows 10. Likewise, you can remove a user profile without deleting the account from Windows 10 and the login screen. For that, you can check our guide here. Deleting a user profile in Windows 10 can be a strong method to reset an account to defaults without the hassle of deleting and adding it again. It can be particularly useful if you suspect there are some settings awry but don’t know exactly where, or just want to have a full clean-out of all the documents and downloads. There are two methods in Windows 10 to delete a user profile – the registry and advanced system properties.
