I hope you do not mind to explain what are these stands for

rd /s /q 

rd = Remove directory

/s = Recursive delete

/s = Silent mode, i.e. not asking for confirmation

You could see all this by typing this command at the Command Prompt:

rd  /?

Hi, I'm Elise, an independent advisor and I'd be happy to help with your issue.

You would also need to delete the user folder, you can use a powershell command like:

Remove-Item 'C:\User\Username' -Recurse

Please let me know if you need any further assistance.

Kind Regards,
