    Security flaw in MS account profiles: Cannot find option to delete old deleted email...


    Hi,Looking down Account Info under my Microsoft account this is online via a browser, NOT on Windows, I see an email address under "Other Email Addresses" under Account Info that I have not used for years, and indeed has been deleted for years the rest of the info is up to date.However, there is no option to delete it.- There is no "Remove" button anywhere near it- It does not appear anywhere under "Sign-In Preferences" options- I have checked related MS accounts e.g. Skype, Outlook.com etc and it is not mentionedIt obviously is a security risk as I do not have access to this account

    :)

    Deleting old MS account profile photos

    Hello Paul,

    Are you referring to the local account profile picture? If you are, there's no automatic method of deleting profile picture. However, you can still remove unwanted profile pictures through
    Windows Explorer. Follow the steps below:

    • Select the Start button.
    • Copy and paste the path below and then press Enter.
      • %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\AccountPictures
    • Delete the unwanted profile picture.

    Let us know if you require further assistance.

    How do I permanently delete unwanted MS profile photos from my account? The answers given do not resolve this issue, why is there not a simple delete option and can you please explain how I can do this on my profile page or otherwise?
