I'd highly recommend trying other possibilities first as there is no clean way to only use the registry to remove users. I'd try this, Start -> run -> type mmc, hit enter In MMC, file -> add/remove snap-in and add the "Local Users and Groups" snap in. Click Close and then OK. Then expand "Local Users and Groups (Local)"\Users Here you can remove any users that were created locally. For domain users, you will need to remove them through Active Directory Users and Computers. -- Mike Burr

Hello Avinash, To manually delete domain/Local users via Registry is not an effective approach, I suggest you delete them by Active Directory Users and Computers or under Computer Management/Local Users and Groups/Users. You also could delete users via Scripting, please refer to the following: Deletes the user account for Bob from the IT organizational unit in a hypothetical domain named contoso.com. ======================================================================= Set objOU = GetObject("LDAP://ou=IT,dc=contoso,dc=com") objOU.Delete "user", "cn=Bob" ======================================================================= Create and Delete Active Directory Accounts http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/ScriptCenter/en-us/311c41df-96c1-4f58-b4da-33642e859349 Delete a Local User Account http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/ScriptCenter/en-us/b7f7b97e-1e80-4c77-b34d-f71ce4e8b0fb http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/ScriptCenter/en-us/7d9bf9ba-6fd2-4b8a-ace3-358448a1981e Brent Hu,Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
