Remove old User Account Pictures in Windows 10

Over a period of time you may have changed your user Account Picture several times. For instance, in my case I had a different one in Windows 8, Windows 8.1 – and now in Windows 10, I have set a new User profile picture. In this post, we will see where Windows 10 stores your user account pictures and how to delete ore remove those which you do not now need.

Now in Windows 10, if you were to open the Settings app > Accounts > Your account, you will see the previous user account pictures too. If you want to remove the old user account picture, there is a way you can do it. Let us see how.

Where does Windows 10 store user account pictures

Windows 10 stores your user account pictures in a hidden AccountPictures folder. To see its contents, open File Explorer and browse to the following location:

It is a hidden folder, so you will have to first set Folder Options to Show hidden files & folders.

Remove old user account picture in Windows 10

To delete or remove your previous or old images, you may simply copy-paste the following path in Explorer address bar and hit Enter:

Here you will see your photographs or images. Delete the old one’s that you do not want.

Now check the Settings app and you will see the difference.

UPDATE: Things seem to have changed in Windows 10 v1703…. The location on your PC to find it is: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\User Account Pictures.

Change your account picture

If you want your account picture to have more of a personal touch and reflect you, you can change your picture in Windows 10.

Change your account picture

You can change the picture for either a local account or a Microsoft account. Here’s how.

Tip: If you use just a username and password to sign in to Windows 10, you’re using a local account. If you use an email address and password to sign in, you’re using a Microsoft account.

Change your local account picture in Windows 10

Select the Start button, then select Settings > Accounts > Your info.

Under Create your picture, select Browse for one. Or, if your device has a camera, select Camera and take a selfie.

Note: Windows remembers the last three pictures you’ve used. Select the picture on the Your info page to switch to that one.

Change your Microsoft account picture in Windows 10

Select Add picture or Change picture, then follow the instructions.

Note: Windows remembers the last three pictures you’ve used, so you can easily switch back to a recent favorite.

Delete an account picture

Windows is designed to let you switch between your three most recent pictures on the Your info page. If you really need to delete one of your account pictures:

Open File explorer from the taskbar. If you don’t see File explorer on the taskbar, select Start , and type File explorer.

Go to C:\Users\ yourname\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\AccountPictures.

Replace yourname with your account name.

If you’re unable to find the AppData folder in File Explorer , it might be hidden. Select the View setting and select the checkbox next to Hidden Items to show all items in a folder.

Delete the account picture you no longer want to use.

Windows HD User Account Picture Pack

(PLEASE read the notes BEFORE commenting about missing user account pictures)

This is a pack of many Windows user account pictures at high resolutions, rather than 48×48 or 128×128! User account pictures from Windows XP, Vista and 7 are included, and a few other stock photos that were taken by Windows photographers. It doesn’t have them all, but it still has quite a lot considering their rarity.

If you aren’t aware, Microsoft licensed most of their user account pictures from stock photo sites such as Corbis and Getty Images. I have used a certain downloader tool to retrieve many of these at higher resolutions, and in some cases I even got some directly from old royalty free stock photo CDs. As stock photo sites sometimes take photos down, not all of them are present in this pack, such as palm tree or skateboarder, but I have been trying my best to find them. Also, if you’re going to submit any of your finds to this pack, please be aware that I do not accept upscaled user account pictures, as I feel they have less value than the original images. You can always try contacting the original photographers for full res versions, although be prepared to spend a bit of money.

Included:
Windows XP: airplane, astronaut, ball, beach, car, cat, chess, dog, drip, duck, fish, guest, guitar, kick, lift-off, red flower, snowflake (17/24)
Windows Vista: usertile2 to 12 (11/13)
Windows 7: usertile10, 11, 13-16, 20-23, 25-28, 30, 32-34, 37-39, 41, 42, 44 (26/37)

If you are unsure about anything, read the notes in each folder. These clarify reasons why user account pictures may either look different from expected or why some may be missing.
