    How can I delete work files off my personal computer but leave them on work computer? I deleted them off my personal computer but it also deleted them off my work computer.

    I purchased a home computer and wanted to import my email account on my work computer to my personal computer. When I did this it imported

    everything. I do not want the work files on my personal computer, It takes up to much space. I deleted it once and it deleted it off my work computer

    to. That is not good. I just want it off my personal computer. I tried using the credential manager but the work files were not listed. I see them on my desktop files. Please help. Thanks

    Cannot Disconnect Personal Account from Work Computer

    Hello,

    Recently I needed to make a purchase on a work computer using my personal Microsoft account.

    I logged into the store with my account, and now the local admin account shows as my personal email.

    This computer is domain joined, and still shows my personal email as the local admin.

    I do not see anyway to disconnect this account from the computer.

    Under all settings, I do not even see my account listed as being on the computer.

    How do I disconnect my email from this local admin account???????

    Recent File List

    Remove-ItemProperty -Path "Registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
    \Applets\Paint\Recent File List" -name file1

    Remove-ItemProperty -Path "Registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
    \Applets\Paint\Recent File List" -name file2
    Remove-ItemProperty -Path "Registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion

    Remove-ItemProperty -Path "Registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
    \Applets\Paint\Recent File List" -name file9
    ...

    you get the idea. ( too lazy to put it in a for loop and test it.

    or just open regedit and remove all the fileX from that key.
