Windows 10: How to Remove an AzureAD User Profile from a Windows 11 computer?

I want to start by saying. I've tried all the workarounds that previous posts have suggested concerning this topic. To save time here is the main ones that were suggested previously that do not work.I've tried using opening Powershell as Admin and using <Remove-LocalUser -Name **Tried profile FirstLastname & Azure UPN**>That simply returns that it cannot find User, The AzureAD profiles don't show up under the local users. Just for the sake of not hearing anyone suggest it, you cannot see or remove AzureAD profiles in Setting>Other Users or in Control Panel>User Accounts>Mana

What is the proper process to remove a AzureAD User Profile from a Windows computer without reimaging or disconnecting the device from Azure AD?

Hello! My name is Cristiano. I'm an Independent Advisor. I'm glad to help you.

To remove the user profile data, you can use the `Remove-LocalUser` cmdlet along with the UPN (User Principal Name) of the user. Here is an example:

1. Open PowerShell as an administrator.

2. Type the following command to list all local user accounts:

3. Find the account you want to remove and make note of the account name.

4. Type the following command to remove the account:

Make sure to replace "*** Email address is removed for privacy ***" with the UPN of the AzureAD user that you want to remove.

After removing the account with `Remove-LocalUser`, run the following command to remove the profile folder:

Replace `<username>` with the name of the user you want to delete.

Note that, if the device was enrolled with AutoPilot, removing a user object from Azure Active Directory does not immediately remove the profile data from the device. In this case, you need to issue a "Windows Autopilot Reset" or a "Fresh Start" to remove all profile data. However, these options will reset the entire device, so make sure you have a suitable backup before performing any of these actions.

I hope this helps!
