  1. Delete Account


    HiI'm having difficulty deleting an old Microsoft account. The internet server which I originally used to sign up with Microsoft no longer exists therefor I am not able to send or receive emails on this server. If I try and delete the Microsoft account it asks me to sign into this account which of course is not possible. I have opened another account using my phone number but that does not give me access to the Microsoft store, each time I try to access the Microsoft store I still get a request to sign in using the old original email address.Any clues where I go from here?

    :)

    It wont show a users folder until its been logged in

    Note: When you want to delete a user account from your computer:

    You must be signed in as an administrator to be able to delete a user account.

    You will not be able to delete a user account that is currently signed in. You will need to sign out the user first.

    Be sure to always have at least one enabled administrator account on the PC to avoid not being able to perform actions that require administrator rights.

    Step 1: Steps to Remove a User Account in Settings

    Press Windows key, click on Settings.

    Click on Account, click on Family and other users.

    Select the user you want to delete under Other users and click on Remove.

    Accept the UAC (User Account Control) prompt.

    Select Delete account and data if you wish to delete account and the data and follow onscreen instructions.

    OR

    Type net user and hit Enter to list the user accounts on your device.

    Type net user "User account " /delete and hit Enter to delete the user account.
