    Fix Work or School Account - Can't remove old accounts in "Accounts used by other apps"


    I keep getting a notification that I need to "fix a work or school account".

    In Settings -> Accounts -> Email & Accounts: under "Accounts used by other apps" - there are several accounts listed that I would like to remove, but I no longer have access to those accounts. How can I delete them?

    :)

    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:

    Google account and old smartphone

    you can't. once it is registered to an account it stays on that account, however if you turned off sync and removed the account from the phone, it will never sync to it.

    Lost password on an Old Account, any way to merge accounts?

    Nope, I just gave up trying to login with the old account and made a new one. Also, regged this current account 8 months ago, not a year.

    That said, please don`t ban me lol
