  1. Find hidden microsoft account


    I have found a hidden microsoft account that I want to remove. I cannot see it using command prompt net user command, nor by using reveal accounts. It is not an adminstrator account or not the admin account that I can see. I only see it if I am trying to save something from email. The account is large, has its own onedrive which I've deleted from my main and admin accounts, and is taking up a lot of space on my laptop.

    How can I reveal this account so I can view and delete the files and account?

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    best wishes Kathryn

    :)
