    To remove a school organization from a personal device and account, two different things must be handled:

    1. Leaving the school organization (tenant) with the account
    2. Removing the school’s management from the personal computer (device management)

    From the provided information, only the account/organization side is documented. Device management removal steps are not covered, so the focus here is how to leave the organization with the account.

    1. Check what organizations the account belongs to

    1. Go to the My Account portal for work/school accounts: https://myaccount.microsoft.com.
    2. Sign in with the work or school account (not the personal Microsoft account).
    3. In the left navigation, select Organizations (or Manage organizations from the Organizations block).
    4. On the Organizations page:
      • Home organization is listed first. This is the organization that owns the work/school account and cannot be left by the user.
      • Other organizations you collaborate with (or just Organizations if there is no home organization) are organizations that can usually be left.

    If the school account is the Home organization, it cannot be left by self-service. Only an administrator of that tenant can remove or delete the account.

    2. Leave other organizations (if available)

    If the school appears under Other organizations you collaborate with:

    1. On the Organizations page, find the school organization under Other organizations you collaborate with.
    2. Select Leave next to that organization.
    3. Confirm by selecting Leave again when prompted.

    If a message appears saying that permission is needed to leave the organization, or that the organization does not allow users to leave:

    • Contact the organization’s admin or privacy contact and request removal from their tenant.

    3. Important limitations

    • A Home organization cannot be left by the user. Only the organization’s admin can remove the account.
    • Some external organizations do not allow users to leave on their own; in that case, admin intervention is required.
    • Leaving an organization deletes data associated with that organization for that account and cannot be undone without a new invitation.

    For the device itself (removing management from a personal PC), the necessary steps are not described in the provided material. The documented guidance only covers leaving organizations at the account level.
