Windows 10: Deleted account

Hi, Hoping someone else could advise me please. I had set up an outlook email address alongside an existing address. I then realized the new email address/account was being used by my computer as the default user/administrator. This set up a new account on my system.I then realized that it required me to continue to put in passwords, verify my credentials etc - very time consuming.I then proceeded to delete the Microsoft account with the new email attached.Worked perfectly until an update casues it to start using the new address as the log in again but I now can't access the account in anyway
