Windows 10: Unable to remove old workplace account from personal PC

All advice I've seen to date is to open the Accounts page, select the account and click Disconnect. There is no option for this. There is a Manage option, however I no longer work for the company, so have no access to manage the account. A solution other than formatting the PC would be good. Thanks.

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.

 

Remove old workplace account

I had my old work e-mail account with Microsoft added to my personal computer. I no longer work at that office and can't login to remove it from my E-mail & Accounts used by other apps.

The only option it gives me in Settings>Email & Accounts is to manage it, which takes me to the login page of my previous employer, which I can no longer log into.

Every time I turn my computer on, it's notifying me to fix a problem with a workplace or school account....that I can't fix!!! I can't log into it and I can't delete.

Is there anyway to remove this account????
