Defaultuser100000 folder under C:Users: what it is and whether you need to delete it

On Windows, you can usually find Default, Public, and your own user folder in the Users folder.

• After a major update it can happen that an additional folder "Defaultuser100000" is displayed here.
• This is a temporary user profile that Windows creates during an update.
• Normally, this user profile is deleted again after a restart following an update.
• If this is not the case, you should check whether the folder contains personal files before deleting it.
• To do this, start the Command Prompt and enter the command “whoami”.
• If the system returns your correct user profile name, you can delete the folder.
• If you are unsure, you can simply ignore the Defaultuser100000 folder.
