    Can't remove an incorrect email reference in Win 11


    When setting up my new computer, I incorrectly used the wrong email address, and it seems stuck in "My Info"...That isn't a working email. I got the domain incorrect. I checked everywhere and it seems my email for this account is proper everywhere else. I did see this on the online area for my account...Under Email & Accounts on the computer itself I see this...I can't figure out how to remove that one, or at the very least get it changed. The only one I want for this log in or account is "optimum" not "optonline". Any thoughts?

    :)

    4. Select delete.
    5. Confirm by selecting delete again.

    2. Tap email + accounts.
    3. Tap add an account.
    4. Tap the type of email your going to add.
