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

While testing "New Teams" I have noticed that the "Pick an account" / Login screen shows the previous users that have logged in, even if they have clicked "sign out".

When clicking on those users, it also logs them in without asking for a password.

After reading other posts here, I have tried deleting the cache here: %LocalAppData%\Packages\MSTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe

And also deleting the data in this folder: %LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.AAD.BrokerPlugin_cw5n1h2txyewy

Doing this has stopped the accounts from being logged in without a password, but the accounts still appear on the "Pick an account" / Login screen.

They do not show in classic teams or any other application and there are no additional accounts in the "Access Work and School" windows setting page.

I have also tried to fully remove and reinstall Teams but the accounts are still visible.

Does anyone have a solution for this?

Thanks

EDIT:

I have found a possible solution:

Delete:
%LocalAppData%\Packages\MSTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe
%LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.AAD.BrokerPlugin_cw5n1h2txyewy
%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\OneAuth
%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\TokenBroker
%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\IdentityCache

Then restart the PC.

This will sign out all Microsoft products but does remove the users from the login list and removed their login details, meaning a password is required to login to Teams.

    Oh, good. If I ever knew about that, I had completely forgotten about it.

    When I looked it up, I was disappointed by Microsoft starting its description of it like this:

    "You can prevent your domain joined device from being Microsoft Entra registered by adding the following registry value..."

    Fortunately, however, that's misleading. It works on mere workgroup PCs, too. I think they probably phrased it like that because it's a common use case where those on a domain might not want to join anything further.

    I completed these steps and was able to successfully remove the old user from appearing in the sign-in screen; however, I am no longer able to sign into my current Teams work account.

    I believe there was something removed that may need to be added back in. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the New MS Teams application, but still receiving the "Something went wrong. [1001]" Error message.
