Windows 10: Why is it that I still have Windows Live 12 mail accounts? When I want to send or forward...

When I visit a web page and want to forward it to someone, Windows Live 12 shows up and nothing can be sent or received from that anymore. Why is this still around? It's not part of Outlook is it? It needs to be replaced or gone...
