Step 5: Your computer will ask you whether you are sure you want to delete the account and data or not. If you think you will have no regrets doing it, just opt for Delete account and data.
Method 2: Using Control Panel
A Windows user doesn’t need anybody to introduce him/her to the control panel as it has been serving as a toolbox for the OS since long. In this method, we use Control Panel to delete the Microsoft account from your computer.
Step 1: Hit Win key+ X simultaneously to get the WinX menu. Anyone can easily access Control Panel from the same menu as you can see in the image given below.
Step 2: Once you get there, you must click on User accounts. In case you face any difficulty spotting the option, use the search field to stumble upon the same.
Step 3: You see many options both on the left panel and the main window. From the main window, you should go with Manage another account option.
Step 4: At this step, you will see all the accounts present on your system. Select the one you want to eliminate from your computer.
Step 5: Finally, hit Delete the account. The computer will ask you whether you want to keep your files or not. You can choose to go with any option no matter what.
Method 3: Using netplwiz
Are you familiar with the Run dialogue box? Even though Windows 10 doesn’t have a special position for it, we can still access the box with the most popular command.
Step 1: As you read above, we need to access the Run dialogue box. For that, either you can press Win key+ R or you will have to search for Run in the start menu.
Step 2: Once the box gets itself appeared before you, type netplwiz into the field and hit the Enter key.
Step 3: After the above action, you will see a new wizard named User accounts. It will display all the user accounts attached to the computer right beneath Users for this computer.
Step 4: As you might have guessed, the first thing you should do is selecting the account you don’t want to have on the computer anymore.
Step 5: After selecting the account, you need to hit the Remove button (the second one in the row). {You can use the same wizard to add or manage accounts too}.
Step 6: Just like any sensitive action we perform on the computer, it will ask you to confirm your choice. Simply, click Yes. There you go!
