How to Delete a disabled school Microsoft account

Hi Abi_29,

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

1

Are you able to log into your own account on the PC?

2

If you can log into your own account, click the start button, then just type netplwiz and press Enter.

Please provide a screenshot of the resulting utility.

3

Open the Settings App.

Go to Accounts.

Select Emails and Accounts, is there is a work or school Email listed there?

Select Access Work or School, is there is a work or school Email listed there?

4

if you cannot log into your PC if that school account is the only one on the PC, the only option will be to reset Windows or clean install windows from a bootable USB.

 

Remove Deactivated Work Or School Email Account

I have an organizational email account that has been deactivated, current guides online say the following:

"If you need to remove an account from your PC:

1. Select Start > Settings > Accounts > Access work or school .
   
2. Select the account you wish to remove, then select Disconnect
   
   ...."
   

However, the only option presented at this section is "Manage" which forwards me to my organization's page to login. The account has since been deactivated with no way to get to the next step.
I have been getting notifications from my system that "There is a problem with a work or school account click her to fix now" but obviously can't login to remove the account from the system.
Is there a work around to remove the account without logging in?
