Windows 10: How to stop a pop-up asking me to sign into a work or school account which I do not have.

I get a pop up about ten times per day https://aka.ms/accountrecovery asking me to sign into my work or school account but I have not had one for about three years. I have a local Microsoft account. I do not know how to stop this pop-up which interferes with my work on my desktop. This has been going on for around two months now. Does anyone have advice on this problem?

Onedrive asking to sign in to a school account

Hello, A few years ago, I lost access to my school email and had to create a new personal email for windows. My files sync fine with the new email, but once a day, I get a prompt asking me to sign into sharepoint and when I click the button to sign in, the only option I have is for the school account which I don't have access to. I deleted everything that started with Microsoft Office from credential manager that didn't have my personal email in the username field, ran the command C:\Program Files\Microsoft OneDrive\onedrive.exe /reset to reset onedrive, and uninstalled/reinstalled onedrive to no avail. Does anyone know what I missed here or why my school account is still connected? EDIT: I saw a SSO_POP_User credential that I missed in credential manager. Maybe that will fix it. I just unlinked and link my account and wasn't prompted to sign in; however, when the select an account prompt comes up, the school email appears in the list of options.

Thank you for your help.

I did what you suggested but the work account is not linked to my personal Microsoft account - it is not listed as an account in the "Accounts" section of settings. Therefore I can't disconnect it because it isn't visible.

Is the pop up message from Microsoft or could it be fake?

It should be a legitimate pop-up, moreover, can you try to sign in to your account at https://account.microsoft.com/ if you do not have issues signing in, I suggest doing an in-place upgrade wherein it will upgrade the device to the latest version and repair all issues without deleting any files.
