How do I remove my work account from showing up on my personal stuff if I never sync my stuff together. I am asking because I am seeing work documents on my personal account for some reason.

To remove your work account from your laptop, you can follow these steps:

  1. For Windows 10/11:
    • Go to Settings > Accounts > Access work or school.
    • Select your work account from the list.
    • Click on Disconnect to remove the account.
  2. For Microsoft Entra registered devices:
    • If your device is registered with Microsoft Entra, you can also use the Microsoft Authenticator app or the Intune Company Portal to unregister the device from management.

After you disconnect your work account, it should no longer show work documents in your personal account.
