  1. How to remove work or school account without access?


    Hello,I just logged onto my computer today to find a window that whenever I close, just returns, and I cannot permanently close the app. The window states that my account for school has been locked and it is telling me to sign in. It was locked because I graduated so now the email is not accessible for me. When I go to settings on my pc to try to remove the account, my only option is to "manage account," but to do that I need to sign in. Please help me on how I can remove my account and stop this window from showing up.

    :)

    Remove Deactivated Work Or School Email Account

    I have an organizational email account that has been deactivated, current guides online say the following:

    "If you need to remove an account from your PC:

    1. Select Start > Settings > Accounts > Access work or school .
    2. Select the account you wish to remove, then select Disconnect

      ...."
    However, the only option presented at this section is "Manage" which forwards me to my organization's page to login. The account has since been deactivated with no way to get to the next step.
    I have been getting notifications from my system that "There is a problem with a work or school account click her to fix now" but obviously can't login to remove the account from the system.
    Is there a work around to remove the account without logging in?

    Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    Open the Settings App.

    Go to Accounts.

    Select Your Info, is the school Email listed there?

    Select Emails and Accounts, is the school Email listed there?

    Select Access Work or School, is the school Email listed there?

    Removing school account on Microsoft

    Hi, so I have tried removing one of my school accounts through the settings app, and the school account that I want to remove isn't even there. When I go to settings and search "access work or school" only my current school account shows up. I am a transfer student and so I no longer need my previous school's account. What's weird is that my previous school account doesn't show up when I search it up in settings. I have been trying to use google drive and google calendar and it leads me to my previous schools account login, however that account isn't listed on my school/work accounts. I have been trying to log in to google drive and google calender on my personal account, but both links always lead me to my previous schools log in, but I don't have access to that account anymore either. I am not sure how to remove a school account that isn't even listed on my school accounts in my settings. There is no way for me to get out of the log in page for when I click the links for either google calendar or google drive.
