Windows 10: How to find files after disconnecting from a school windows account?

Hi All,I used to log in to my desktop with the windows account I made using my school email. I recently graduated and my school email expired, so I wanted to switch my windows account on my desktop to one using my personal email. I created a new administrator user profile on my computer and I disconnected from my schools azure active directory. Unfortunately, I did not think about what would happen to my files that I had saved on my pc under my previous school email windows user profile. Is there any way that I can recover those files or did I make a big mistake?

Impossible to disconnect a school account

Hey there

I am having troubles deleting my former university account from windows 10.

This scenario occurs when I try to disconnect my former School organizational (Office 365) account.

I follow the traditional procedure Settings > Account > Access work or school > "XXX account" > Disconnect.

When I click "Disconnect", the page loads and then this very account reappears for some unknown reason.

When I click on "Manage" (to manage this particular school account), I am redirected to Sign in to your account where
I can see written "Windows Workplace joined".

When I left university, I know that my account got disabled.

I also receive on a regular basis a notification from windows telling me that this particular account needs fixing. When I try to reconnect to it (knowing that the account is disabled), the error code 135011 pops up.

This is a different error that the one explained and solved

here.

FYI, I am signed in with a local account, non admin.

Anybody knows how to solve this without wiping my whole windows 10 ?

Thanks in advance for your help

School still requiring login changes after disconnecting on my PC

This has been going on for a bit now, and I'm finally getting so fed up with having to brainstorm new pins every 3 months. I initially added my school live account in hopes it would make working between home and school easier. After a while, I found it so
annoying the issues outweighed the benefits, mainly in the fact I was running out of logins I could easily remember. For some reason, the policy for non-school PC is triple how often you need to reset a school-owned one. Anyways, I disconnected, yet I still
have the organizational restrictions on my login and consistently have to change everything but my fingerprint, which doesn't always work. Here are the repo steps...

1. Settings -> Accounts -> Access work or school.
2. Click the profile you wish to disconnect and select "Disconnect".
3. A) Wait for a month or two until it requires pin reset.
   
   B) Go to Settings -> Accounts -> Sign-in options and click pin or password. Below it will give you a list of organizational restrictions and hold you to them when creating the pin.

I can live without a fix, but personally i want my school of my laptop since I won't be going there soon anyways.

 

Impossible to disconnect a school account

Thanks for your answer, but I am not trying at all to access my school account again. On the contrary, I want to disconnect it totally from my device.
