How to Remove a Previous Owner from a Dell Computer
If you purchase a Dell desktop or laptop computer used and the previous owner did not format the drive before giving you the product, you may have his user accounts on the system. You can remove the user accounts from your Dell computer through the Windows user control panel. Removing a user removes the user account from your system, so it is no longer available to be logged into.
