2 ?'s about existing full admin acct

1. I have a total of three acct, two regular accts and one full admin acct. I have the same email client in each of these accts. If, while in admin acct, I delete the email acct within (via control panel), will the email client be deleted in my other two accts?

2. The is no Appdata in my full admin acct, whereas it does exist in my other two accts. Is it hidden, or is something wrong?

Because your full administrator account is a built in Administrator?

Not sure where your answer applies. Do you mean to anser Yes to my first question? If so then that means that anything done in a full admin acct has a global effect...right? That is, deleting something in admin acct, deletes it in all accts...Right?

Or, do you mean that a full admin acct, generically, has no Appdata folder?

Re: 2 ?'s about existing full admin acct

Hey, D/A, thanks for the encouragement. We retirees need all the help we can get. Just so I get it right and don't screw things up: When in full admin mode, deleting a file/folder, only deletes that file/folder for the admin acct...
