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.

    It is not necessary to have access to the Work or School account you want to remove. The only requirement to remove it, is to be logged on with administrative privileges on your computer.

    You can logon to your computer with a local or Microsoft account that is in the administrators group, as described in the article above.

    Okay, let me be more precise. I have a work account logged in, where the work group has been banned, terminated, and no longer valid. I cant contact the admin because they also no longer have access to their work group. So now, how do I remove the account from my OWN PERSONAL computer?
