    It's running the latest stable build of Windows 11, and the 'Remove' button that was there in Windows 10 under Settings>Accounts>Email and Accounts>Accounts used by other apps is now gone. Is there a way to restore it without returning to Windows 10, the window for that is long gone, or another method?The account I want to unlink is from an organisation that I don't have admin access to.

    :)
