    To delete an account on your laptop, follow these steps:

    1. Open Windows App on your laptop.
    2. Select your account profile picture in the top-right corner to open the settings pane.
    3. Choose the account you want to remove from the list of accounts.
    4. Select Sign out. There is no confirmation needed for this action.

    This will remove the account from your laptop.

    If you want to delete the account entirely, you may need to go to the Settings app, navigate to Accounts, and then select Family & other users to manage the accounts further.
