Windows 10: Ex girlfriend's account linked to my Microsoft account - how can I remove it?

Good day all,


My problem is as follows:


I am using Windows 10 on my PC and went to try and add a child account to it. Upon attempting to do so I noticed that my ex-girlfriend's and her mum's account were listed under family members in Windows 10. PS: I never added them myself and I have no idea why her mum would be there as she never came to my house or used my computer. I also noticed that on my profile on Windows the email address listed as linked to it is my ex girlfriend's email, but I am able to log into it with my email address. When I click the link to take me to the Microsoft family's website for my account, my account is listed as being linked to m own email. Very confusing.


Finally I attempted to add the child to the family group using the Microsoft family's website, whilst logged into my own account. When I did this it also showed that my ex and her mum were also in this group.


To conclude, I would like to remove them from the family and from having anything to do with my account but I can't seem to find any way to remove them. I am not on speaking terms with my ex so it's not an option to contact her.


Thanks in advance,

Brad.

Remove Microsoft linked account in Windows 10

This question refers to steps 3 and 4 in the thread How to rename the User folder in Windows 10?

The troublesome steps are:

3) Remove original Microsoft linked account

4) Link local account to Microsoft account if you wish

I was stuck on those 2 steps. I couldn't find a way in Windows 10 to remove the Microsoft account.

Any ideas?

 

Remove account

I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
To delete an account, follow these steps:

1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:
