Ghost account

Solved

Hello,
When I turn on my PC running Windows 10 Home, on the homepage where I am prompted to enter my password, an account that does not exist consistently appears but is required to open my session. And invariably the system informs me that this account cannot proceed.
A long time ago, I mistakenly tried to open another account, but without finalizing the action, thinking I had canceled it. However, it appears that some traces remain, causing the small issue described above. I have tried to eliminate it via account management, but in vain...
Any idea on how to neutralize the intruder please? (see attached illustration)

Configuration: Windows / Chrome 94.0.4606.81

Hello,
try to do it via netplwiz, command prompt, or powershell:

Oups... ! Sorry “#bazfile” for not including you in the thanks previously sent to “#madmyke” who just pointed it out to me. But that's corrected now, and a thousand apologies again.
Age is a heavy burden to bear, and I kind of derailed there... ;=))

Hello,
I am always impressed by the speed of your responses.
Responses that, moreover, are effective. Not being contrary but always a bit skeptical about my way of interpreting your advice, I apply it before getting back to you. And once again, I achieve the desired result; the infamous ghost account that had been bothering me for quite some time has indeed disappeared from my view, thanks to the suggested trick.
THANK YOU "madmyke" for this helping hand.
Have a great day.
P.S.: I will try to mark the problem as "resolved"; =))

With pleasure :-)
But I'm not alone, Bazfile who posted at the same time as me was on the same suggestion :-).

Another thank you "#madmyke" for allowing me to correct this unforgivable oversight regarding the intervention of "#bazfile".
I set things right with him or her (?)
