Windows 10: Deactivated work or school account can't be removed

As you can see on the screenshot below, I'm signed in to two different Microsoft accounts on Windows 10. The first one is my personal account which I use for basically everything. The second one is my school account. I've signed in to the school account because it came with a Microsoft Office license. Now let me explain my issue. I've graduated from said school last summer. My Microsoft account got deactivated by the school after I left. I did not sign out of this account on my pc as I didn't see any reason to. Now the account is still linked to my pc, but I've long been signed out. From time to time I get a notification telling me that there's a problem with my work or school account. When I click on it, it opens the custom sign-in page of my school (in place of the Microsoft one) in a separate window. This is completely useless since my account has been disabled, deactivated or probably deleted. When clicking on the 'manage' button you see on the screenshot, I get redirected to the sign-in page for a Microsoft account on which I could then enter my school- email and get in turn redirected to the school's sign-in page. Anyhow, the gist of it all is that I can not sign in to my account and I can not find a way to remove it from my pc without signing in and probably removing my pc online. It's not a big issue, but I still find it frustrating. Windows should be able to realize what the issue with the account is. It's treating it like a possible password change or another change of security settings. All the while my account is inactive and none retrievable. Maybe I am missing something and it is, in fact, possible to remove the account locally. Whether or not, I'd appreciate any help.

Can't remove a Work or School account from Windows 10

I found I could not delete the work or school account, because it was likely controlled by a domain controller, which I could no longer log onto.

I found the solution below DOES work, as described by the user Pvandamcom2

Steps:

- In Control Panel, User Accounts, select your account

- Select "instead log on with a local account" and follow the steps

- Then logon, go back to accounts, and go to Access to work and school account

- Click Disconnect for the Work or School Account. The work account dissappeared

- Last step, go back and change logon to be with Microsoft Account instead of
local account

The work account is no longer displayed
