    Windows 10 unable to remove work account from "Accounts used by other apps" section


    I had signed into Microsoft Teams on my personal computer with my work e-mail not realizing that doing so somehow integrates your work profile into the Windows accounts area. I wanted to remove it, so I went to the devices section on the Microsoft account website and clicked "Disable." However, the PC is still showing up under Manage Devices as being "Active" in "Organization Status", but "Disabled." The account also still exists under my "Accounts used by other apps" section in the control panel. I am not given the option to remove the account, the only option I have is "Manage" and clicking on that just takes me to myaccount.microsoft.com.


    How can I remove this device from the Organization?

    :)

    Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

    Look at this thread,How to Delete a User Account in Windows 10, it may help. You can try the various methods.
    Make sure you are using an administrative account when removing the account or log on using the Administrator's account.

    Or, if you are patient and know what you are doing, manually remove it.

    Either way, Goodluck.

    Remove account

    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
    To delete an account, follow these steps:
    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:

    Windows 10 unable to remove work account from "Accounts used by other apps" section

    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 unable to remove work account from "Accounts used by other apps" section :(
