    How do I delete a Work or School account that does not exist?

    I am continuously annoyed when I log into any of a half dozen Microsoft services because when I enter my personal email address Microsoft thinks I am using the same email address to log into both a Personal account and a Work or School account set up by
    some IT Department.

    This is impossible because I have never worked or gone to school anywhere that would have given me an account using my personal email address. In fact this personal email address didn't even exist before I retired five years ago, moved to Florida, and opened
    an ISP account here.

    So, I tried to log into that Work or School account to fix the problem. That login was rejected, and after using the access help link with that personal mail address plus captcha, it quit with the error message, "The user ID
    you entered does not exist. Please check that you have typed your user ID correctly."

    Yes, I presumably have the option with the link Change the email address or phone number for your Microsoft account - Microsoft Support,
    but this is unacceptable. My primary email address is used to log into a half a dozen devices, into multiple Microsoft services, and into about a hundred other online accounts. In any case, the instructions on that page don't work:

    Step 1 goes to my info page,

    Step 2 asks me to select, "Manage your sign-in email or phone number."

    Step 3 already shows my personal email address and

    Step 4 shows that personal email address is already marked as primary alias.

    Step 5 to "Select Remove next to your work email address to remove it from your account" cannot be performed because no other work or school email address shown.

    So how do I get Microsoft to stop offering a Work or School account that does not exist?

    Join Teams for work or school meeting with personal Microsoft account

    Microsoft Teams Insider Blog: As a part of ongoing work to improve the experience when joining Teams meetings, we have just made a new update available for Teams Insiders. When using your personal Teams account to join a meeting that originated from a Work or School Teams account, you previously had to join as a guest, often causing your meeting to open in a web browser with limited functionality. Now you can join as your signed-in personal Microsoft account from within the Teams app on Windows 11, providing a better meeting experience for all parties. In the first phase of rolling out this new functionality, you will get the new experience when joining a Teams for work or school meeting from within Teams free by tapping a Teams for work or school meeting link in a chat or community within Teams free. Your signed-in personal Microsoft account will be used when you join the meeting.

    If you dont have the Teams meeting in your Teams free calendar, a nice little trick is to forward the meeting invite to the email you use to sign in to Teams free. Then you will have the meeting neatly in your Teams calendar, readily available for you to join the meeting when its time. How to join Teams Insider? Its easy to join Teams Insider for earlier access to new features and improvements:

    Remove Deactivated Work Or School Email Account

    I have an organizational email account that has been deactivated, current guides online say the following:

    "If you need to remove an account from your PC:

    1. Select Start > Settings > Accounts > Access work or school .
    2. Select the account you wish to remove, then select Disconnect

      ...."
    However, the only option presented at this section is "Manage" which forwards me to my organization's page to login. The account has since been deactivated with no way to get to the next step.
    I have been getting notifications from my system that "There is a problem with a work or school account click her to fix now" but obviously can't login to remove the account from the system.
    Is there a work around to remove the account without logging in?
