    In Windows, some accounts cannot be removed from the place you might expect and must be removed from a different Accounts section in Settings.

    Try these steps depending on the type of account:

    1. Remove a personal account from the device
      1. Open Start > Settings > Accounts > Email & accounts.
      2. Under Accounts used by email, calendar, and contacts, select the account.
      3. Choose Remove (if available) and confirm.
    2. Remove a work or school account from the device
      1. Open Start > Settings > Accounts > Access work or school.
      2. Select the work/school account.
      3. Select Disconnect and confirm.
    3. Remove another user’s sign-in account from the PC
      1. Open Start > Settings > Accounts > Other users.
      2. Select the user you want to remove.
      3. Select Remove, then confirm that this will remove the account and its data from the device.

    Notes:

    • Removing an account from Windows only removes its sign-in information and data from that device; it does not delete the underlying Microsoft, work, or school account.
    • For some work or school accounts, complete removal might require contacting the organization’s IT admin.
