Windows 10: Windows 10 Email App - Cant delete accounts

I use the Windows 10 mail app a fair bit on my laptop. Although I tested it out on my PC some time ago, I have not used it regularly, but would now like to. However the Windows 10 email app on my PC seems to have got itself into a mess. There are 3 accounts - a new one which I recently added and seems to be working fine, and two older ones left over from when I was trying out the app some time ago which don't seem to be doing anything at all. I tried to delete these accounts by going to "manage accounts" but when I click on either of them, nothing happens. The box which normally pops up giving the option to delete the account doesn't appear though it works fine for the newly added account.


I uninstalled the mail app and then reinstalled it from Microsoft Store. But when the app launched, the two old accounts are still there! I guess it is somehow accessing account information associated with the original installation. When I go to Windows 10 Settings / accounts / Email & accounts only the new account is shown.


Any ideas how I can get a proper clean install of the Mail app without going to a lot of trouble?

Hello vexorg,

You might check using step 3 in Option Two of the tutorial below to see if your son's email is listed under your "Email & app accounts". If so, deleting it will remove it.
