  1. Deleted account Still connected to personal PC


    I had a microsoft account through my previous employer and used that account to log into my pc when I first bought it. I've since left that job and the email has been deleted on the employer's end. However, I keep getting notifications that there is a problem with my work or school account. I can't change the main profile to my personal microsoft account because I would need to log into the work microsoft account to change that. How do I resolve this?

    :)

    [Solved] Delete "Ghost" Account?

    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

    Step 2: Steps to Delete a User Account in Command Prompt
