  1. If I remove an account from one device, will it affect the same account signed in on...


    I am using two PCs, but they were both signed in with the same account. I logged in with another account on one of them and I want to remove the previous account. There is a pop-up stating that I would lose everything associated with that account on that PC, so I was wondering if this removal process only affects the account on that device or across all devices.

    :)

    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:

    Cannot sign in microsoft account.

    My device: Lumia 520. GDR2.
    I cannot sign in my Microsoft account on my device. It didnt say any error but Microsoft account is not listed in Email and account list. When I click add button, it will show microsoft account option but after press sign in, it is still not shown in email
    and account. Another problem is i cannot delete facebook account. Error code: 0x83cf1202. I have tried as suggested here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2475837/en-us#step0x83cf1202 but as my Microsoft account is not shown, I cannot do step 6. If I remove an account from one device, will it affect the same account signed in on... :(

    Any suggestion?

    Unknown devices on my Microsoft account

    Hello Flemmingk, If I remove an account from one device, will it affect the same account signed in on... :)

    Could these other devices be from friends that you may have signed in to your Microsoft account on for something?

    Either way, you can remove these devices.

    Afterwards to be safe, I would recommend to change the password of your Microsoft account, and enable two-step verification if you haven't already.
