  1. Removing unused account


    I asked this Q in Office365 forum they said its a W10 issue so post here instead. :



    I keep getting messages to fix my password and log in to company Office 365.


    I left the company some time ago, and using my own Office 365 ....... Under Settings > Email & Accounts it shows both accounts ....


    How can I remove the old one?

    I no longer have access so no active password.


    The one I use and is valid is the upper one *** Email address is removed for privacy ***

    The one I wish to delete is teh workplace one.


    There is option to add account but not delete.

    How to remove the unused old device from account?

    Hi,

    Thanks for the tip. This does not resolve the issue to remove the unused/old device from Microsoft account. My old device is still in the list of devices in my account. That old device is already gone for recycle ages ago. So I need to see old device
    to disappear from the list of devices. Got it?
