Anonymous

Hi All,

I am using windows 11 home. I want to remove the work or school account as I am not using that account anymore. But I am not getting an option to remove the account from my system. I am not using that account in any of the apps and all the apps related to that account are deleted.

I searched online for the same. Usually, the option is to right-click on the account and delete it. But I am not getting that delete option.

Please let me know how to proceed.

In the attached screenshot, the account highlighted in maroon is the one which I want to remove.

Thanks.

    I already had a personal account and Office apps, but could not get rid of old connection to work school account. Windows kept saying I had a problem with the work school account, but I was avoiding logging in.

    I had to log in my work account to see it in the Accounts > Access Work or School so it could be disconnected. The Disconnect button appeared and I used. Did not have any further prompting about alternative account since my personal account was already in use and my main account.

    I do not know how you would work this if you no longer had access to the associated Work or School account. But since I did, a combo of the above and the linked article was the solution

    Thank you Kapil.

    Hi Arunkumar_40,

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    If there is no Disconnect option on that Emails and Accounts setting page, go to Accounts - Access Work or School, is there a 'Disconnect' option on that account on tat setting page?
