Solved Delete guest admin account?

I recently ran some commands in command prompt while trying to attempt to delete system volume information folder from an external SSD. That SSD was once an internal SSD for my laptop.

When I ran those commands, it created a guest admin account on my laptop. I don't remember those commands now as I copied it from a tutorial post.

I tried removing that guest account in admin cmd propmt but I failed.

How can I remove it? I want to keep just one account on my laptop like it has always had from the beginning.

The red highlighted/redacted name is the name of my admin account/username here in this screenshot.

command prompt as admin, and type

that will show you all administrators. Guest is a default account that can be enabled or disabled. it is only a standard user, not admin. Administrator is the system Administrator baked-in account. it can be enabled/disabled but not deleted.

will hide those accounts (disable them)

Fantastic! That solved it. Thanks!

After using "net user Administrator /active:no" the associated user folders will remain. I just deleted them and nothing bad happened. Saves about 120MB.

I used File Explorer to delete the "Adminstrator" folder in C:\users. Don't delete the wrong one!
