3. In the Accounts window, select Family & other users from the left side menu.

Can’T Delete User Profile Windows 10
If you’re trying to delete a user profile on Windows 10 and encountering the “Cannot delete user profile” error, there are a few potential fixes you can try.
First, make sure that the user account you’re trying to delete is not set as a designated “supervisor” account in the User Profile Manager. If it is, you’ll need to change that designation before proceeding.
Next, try using the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) to delete the user account. To do this, launch MMC and add the Local Users and Groups snap-in. Once open, expand the “Users” folder and right-click on the user account you wish to delete.
Choose “Delete” from the menu and confirm when prompted.
If neither of those methods work, your next option is to use Registry Editor to manually remove references to the user profile in question. Doing so is a bit more complicated and should only be attempted if you’re comfortable working with registry keys.
We don’t recommend this method for novice users as accidental changes can render your system unstable or even unbootable.
