Can not remove email account from Windows 10?

Answered by Cody Janus

I’ve encountered a similar issue before, so I can definitely provide you with a detailed answer.

1. First, press the Win + R keys on your keyboard to open the Run command box. This shortcut allows you to quickly access various Windows functions.

2. In the Run command box, type “netplwiz” (without the quotation marks) and then press the OK button. This command opens the User Accounts window, which allows you to manage user accounts on your Windows 10 system.

3. The User Accounts window will open, displaying a list of user accounts that are currently set up on your computer. Look for the specific email account that you want to remove.

4. Once you have located the email account, select it by clicking on it to highlight it. Then, click on the Remove button, which is located just below the list of user accounts.

5. After clicking the Remove button, a confirmation window will appear, asking if you are sure you want to remove the account. Take a moment to double-check that you have selected the correct account, as removing an account will permanently delete all associated files and settings.

6. If you are certain that you want to proceed with removing the email account, click the Yes button in the confirmation window. This will initiate the removal process.

7. After removing the account, click the Apply button at the bottom right corner of the User Accounts window to save the changes you have made.

8. click the OK button to close the User Accounts window.

9. To ensure that the changes take effect, restart your computer. After the restart, the email account should no longer be listed as a user account on your Windows 10 system.

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully remove the email account from your Windows 10 system. However, please note that removing an account will permanently delete all associated files and settings, so make sure you have backed up any important data before proceeding.

I hope this detailed explanation helps you resolve the issue with removing your email account on Windows 10!
