    Remove Microsoft linked account in Windows 10

    This question refers to steps 3 and 4 in the thread How to rename the User folder in Windows 10?

    The troublesome steps are:

    3) Remove original Microsoft linked account

    4) Link local account to Microsoft account if you wish

    Any ideas?
