Windows 10: I need to remove a work account from my old job

Hi everybody,

As the title says, I need to remove a Microsoft account that is tied to my old workplace. I don't work there anymore, and so when I quit a few months ago I made sure to log out of all emails and websites, cleaning out the old files on my pc etc. I thought I had done a thorough job, but apparently my laptop still has the old Microsoft account from my job remembered. This is an issue for me, because I get several pop-up window reminders daily that I need to login with the account, which I'd rather just not have so I also don't get reminded of my old job all the time.

I can't login or anything (to delete it myself), and I don't want to contact my old workplace (who wants to?), so I would actually just want a way for me to remove the account from the "memory" of my laptop, so it doesn't even have it as one of the suggested accounts.

Thanks!

Remove account

I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
To delete an account, follow these steps:

1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:

 

Unable to remove old administrator account.

Hello,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I understand that you want to delete one of the old administrator accounts from your computer. If you want to save the data from the old Administrator account, I would suggest you to copy the data from the old user account from
C: Users\<Old User Account> and move it to your backup drive or folder in a different location, before deleting the account.

I would also like to know what exactly happens when you try to remove the old Administrator account from your PC.

To delete an Administrator account from your PC, you will have to login to another user account with
Administrator access as User Accounts cannot be deleted through a Standard account.

Once you have logged into your new Administrator account, you can follow the steps mentioned below to remove the old Administrator account from your PC. To do this, by

1. Login to the new Admin User Account that you want to keep.
2. Tap on 'Windows + I' on the keyboard.
3. Click on 'Accounts'.
4. Now click on 'Family & other users'.
5. Select the old Administrator account from the list.
6. Click on 'Remove'.

Let us know if you face any issues, and we will certainly assist you further.

Hope it helps.
