Remove a User from Login screen

How do I do that?  Somehow I ended up with two copies of my user login on the Login screen, and while it could be helpful if one got corrupted, right now it just gets in the way and in fact does not even end up starting with the right folders.

How can I remove the one I don’t need?

Once you have logged into the one you want, fire up the user manager and disable the one you don’t want. Don’t delete the user (yet), in case you find you need it, or choose the wrong one.

Paul, sorry for being a bit slow, but I don’t quite see where to do this.

Pual if I go to Accounts / Other Users, I only see the one I want.  But I DO see two on the login screen.

No matter where I look, I only see one user name — EXCEPT on the login screen.  And if I select that second name, it just goes to a blank screen.

I’m getting to the point that I may as well start over!

What do you see if you examine user accounts with lusrmgr.msc?

See @RetiredGeek’s post #2770454 for screenshots of how to lusrmgr.msc to disable a user without actually deleting it.
