    Remove account

    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
    To delete an account, follow these steps:
    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:

  3. Getting around 60 day account deletion?

    When I originally made my Microsoft account, I used an email (let's say *** Email address is removed for privacy ***). Since then I've changed my email to *** Email address is removed for privacy ***. Now... when I sign in to Windows it's with the account associated with *** Email address is removed for privacy ***. I want to change the pimary email associated
    with the *** Email address is removed for privacy *** account to *** Email address is removed for privacy ***. I don't want to make a new account and worry about linking everything and re-configuring all my settings.

    Here's the issue. At some point I created another Microsoft account using *** Email address is removed for privacy ***. I don't use this account for anything. I cannot switch the aaa@gmail account to use bbb@gmail because they are two separate accounts. I've tried deleting the bbb@gmail
    account and then adding bbb@gmail as an email on the aaa@gmail account however account deletions take 60 days and it won't let me do this until then. Is there any way around this?

    Unauthorized Emails from my account?

    It is more than likely that your email account was hacked, either by a virus sniffing your password, or just simply hacked.

    Either way, change your password on your email account. Unfortunately the damage by already be done. They already have your contact list and your email address associated with that contact list. There is nothing stopping them from sending out emails using their own SMTP servers to everyone on your contact list and claiming the emails are from your email address. They don't actually have to have access to your yahoo account or even any yahoo server to send emails to people that come from your address.
