New Teams - How do you remove users from the "Pick an account" / Login screen?

Hi, I assume Teams is storing the accounts in the same location as the azure login accounts. The accounts must be somewhere in those folders, so it may be worth looking inside those folders and only deleting specific sub folders/files to see if you can retain the Azure logins while removing the teams logins.

If you have any success let me know.

I tried various methods here without success until I combined various methods together. A bit of "a belt and braces" approach. Or a scatter gun approach and hoping something worked. Which it did. I now need a more elegant script and gradually remove the unnecessary commands. I know I have del and ren commands which probably conflict.

Anyway, this worked on a test laptop. When I open Teams now, its like a brand new install without any accounts remembered.

I can't take all the credit or blame. Like I said, I copied parts of other scripts here and other parts I found on other forums......

This runs as a batch file in the startup folder of the generic account that logs into Windows on a shared conference laptop.

That's why we don't want individual users' Teams accounts appearing in the accounts to choose.

pushd "C:\Users<USERNAME>\Downloads" 2>nul && ( rd /Q /S "C:\Users<USERNAME>\Downloads" 2>nul & popd )

taskkill /F /IM Teams.exe

taskkill /F /IM msteams.exe

taskkill /F /IM "Microsoft.AAD.BrokerPlugin.exe"

del "C:\Users<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Teams\desktop-config.json" /q

rmdir "C:\Users<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.AAD.BrokerPlugin_cw5n1h2txyewy" /s /Q

del "C:\Users<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Packages\MicrosoftTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe\*.*" /F /s /Q

del "C:\Users<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\*.*" /F /s /Q

del "C:\Users<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Network Shortcuts\*.*" /F /s /Q

ren C:\Users<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneAuth\accounts accounts_old

ren C:\Users<USERNAME>\AppData\Microsoft\IdentityCache IdentityCache_OLD

ren C:\Users<USERNAME>\AppData\Microsoft\Teams Teams_OLD

reg delete HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Teams /f

Feel free to recommend changes to make it more elegant

Looked at the script. All the ren commands point to %LocalAppData% which on my computer points to C:\Users<username>\AppData\local. And it end into the folder local. But the 2 first ren command, has the Local folder after the %LocalAppData%. That means that these 2 ren command are looking for a folder under C:\Users<username>\AppData\local\Local.... which doesn't exist(At least on my pc). So it looks like the 2 first ren commands are pointing to a location that probably doesn't exist. I think those 2 should point to "%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\OneAuth\accounts" and "%LocalAppData%\Packages\MSTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe". Just an observation, haven't tested it.

After i applied this fix the issue has not returned on any of the machines ive done it on.

This worked for me until a reboot the next day it came back
