  1. How do I change the "Your info" account? It's deleted!


    I have an old, deleted account which goes by "*** Email address is removed for privacy ***", with 2 "1"s. I want to go with my new account, "octav207111", with 3 "1"s. Problem is, I cannot log out from the "Your info" page Start > Settings > Accounts. However, on the main Settings page Start > Settings, at the top, I am logged into my correct account. How do I fix this? Note: the old account 2 "1"s is deleted from the Microsoft database.

    :)
