Windows 10: Cannot remove work account from my own pc

Hello,


Due to Covid I'm working from home a lot and have been working on my own PC as it has multiple screens instead of the work laptop.

We use Teams and since recently when I start Teams from my own PC when I login it asks a question along the lines of "allow organization to manage device" which is checked by default.


One time I was in a rush so and I forgot to uncheck it, and without any further warning my PC was added to to active directory of my company and in Windows it added my work account under "Accounts & Email".


When I then clicked on "Manage" for my work account it referred me to a page of my work where it listed my personal PC under devices.

I contacted my work and they removed my PC from their side and it's now no longer showing up when I go to that page.


However, I cannot find any way to remove the work account under "Email & accounts". Clicking on manage just brings me to my works profile page where my PC is now removed.


How do I remove it from "Email & Accounts" and is there any way I can check that I am now ok and they cannot remote wipe my pc and such?


Thanks,


Jorn

:)
