  1. Remove old work account


    I have an old work account that is no longer active. I can't delete the account because it requires a password and I get a message saying the account is no longer active and can't get to where it can be deleted. I receive daily pop-ups telling me there is a work account problem which I'm sure is due to this old account. Please let me know how this old work account can be removed.

    :)

    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:
      Code:
      net user test /del

  3. Deleting an old workplace account

    Hello - I'm trying to remove an old workplace account from my personal computer, but going round in circles.

    In the list of accounts it's in the "Accounts used by other apps" section.

    Any suggestions would be very welcome.

  4. Remove old work account

    Unable to remove my microsoft account from a linked pc

    Hi Dave,

    To help you with your concern in deleting your Microsoft account from a device, we'd like to ask a few questions:

    • Have you tried deleting your Microsoft account directly from the old laptop?
    • How did you go about removing the account from the old laptop?

    Meanwhile, we suggest that you create a new local account with admin rights first, then remove the current Microsoft account by following the steps on this

    article
    .

    We look forward to your response.

    Thank you.
