would someone pls tell me how to find the pwl files and delete them for a new pw?
PWL (Password List) files are used by the Windows operating system to store login credentials for different user accounts. These files can potentially contain sensitive information and may pose a security risk if they fall into the wrong hands. Deleting them helps protect your personal data.
The location of PWL files may vary depending on your version of Windows, but they are typically found in the C:\Windows folder. You can also use the Windows search function to look for files with the .pwl extension.
Yes, you can delete all PWL files on your computer without causing any harm. However, keep in mind that this will also delete all saved login credentials for your user accounts and you will have to re-enter them the next time you log in.
No, it is not necessary to delete PWL files regularly. They only need to be deleted if you are experiencing problems with your user accounts or if you are concerned about the security of your personal data.
No, deleting PWL files will not affect your computer's performance. These files are small and do not have a significant impact on your system's speed or memory usage. However, it is always a good idea to regularly clean up unnecessary files on your computer to free up space and optimize performance.
