Windows 10: Windows 10: Delete a Microsoft account

I currently have two accounts in Settings > Accounts > Email and app accounts, one of them is under my phone number and one is under my email, I wish to combine them both but am currently waiting the 60 day period for my phone numbers account to be deleted which if possible I would like to speed up.


The main concern is that when clicking onto the phone number account there is no "Remove" option, there is only manage, when I click manage it opens up the internet onto the microsoft sign in page and does not change regardless if I am signed in or not.


All threads which I have found direct me to click the manage button which is supposed to bring up a smaller screen with more options, does not work whatsoever,


Even the option to change what apps can sign the account in is simply not there, there is no drop down bar or option to remove like the other account I have there which I wish to keep


How do i delete this account off my computer?

Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

Unfortunately I had done those steps numerous reboots, it just, reappears for no good reason. The base account isn't even a Microsoft account, it's a local account.

I haven't quite tried the built in administrator account on W10, but so far in my experience on my own computer, the built in account seemed to have absolutely no more control than I did on my own.

It's just strange, I go in, it warns me twice about deleting the account, then it's gone. Reboot, and it's back?

EDIT: Just to specify, both command line and Netplwiz both say only HIS account exists on the computer, it doesn't list this rogue account. This is what I meant in my first post about the fact that even Windows doesn't seem to believe it exists, HALF the time. *Frown

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

• Launch the Store from your Start menu.
• Click the user icon next to the search box.
• Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
• Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
• When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”
