Windows 10: Can not create a new user in Windows 10: email address 'already added to this PC"

As an administrator of a Windows 10 desktop PC, I want to add 'user X' with email addres *** Email address is removed for privacy *** as a Windows 10 user, but i get the error message saying that "*** Email address is removed for privacy *** can not be added because it has already been added".

The user account control panel clearly shows that the admin Diana is the only user on this PC, User X doesn't show up.


UserX had been added in the past but was correctly removed as a user later on. Now I want to add him again but i get the error message described above. Nowhere i can detect any reference to user X in the configuration panel or even in the system files....But it must be stored somewhere as the system still makes reference to it.


What do i miss?

Delete Outlook email address and add new admistrator email

Hi,

If you've created a new account, you can assign it as the new administrator account and delete the other one. For us to provide a suitable solution to your concern, we'd like to have some clarifications regarding the issue:

• Are you signing to your laptop using a Microsoft account?
• Are you able to sign in using the new email address you've created?
• Did you assign the newly created email address or user account as the new admin account?

In the meantime, if you can login using the new account that you've created, try creating a new admin account or setting it up as the new admin and delete the old one by following the steps in this
article.

We'll wait for your response.
