Tin, and complete, it turned out that the old folder of the user who no longer exists was recreated, and it needs to be deleted and not
renamed In general, the touch input service re-creates some file of its own, and the indexer indexes it and after some reason creates a remote user folder with this file
for Google (well, suddenly someone needs it):
TextHarvester.dat
not deleting
TextHarvester.dat We stop the WindowsSearch service We stop the TabletInputService service, we delete the folder with the user with this file
Start the TabletInputService service Start the
WindowsSearch service
And for the sake of it, reboot and check
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Stop service WindowsSearch
Stop service TabletInputService
Deleting user folder with this file
Start service TabletInputService
Start service WindowsSearch
For check mark reloading system and check
it also talks about politics, but it works without them,
the issue is resolved

See why you need it. You can solve for example symlink.

Hello,
None.
The correct option is to create a new user, give him administrator rights, go under him, his folder with his name will be created, and then delete your user in the mode of deleting all your files. This is the most correct option that will clear all your data.
