Remove an Obsolete Work Account from Email and Accounts in Windows 10


Trying to Delete from Settings -> Email and Accounts

I was trying to “fix a problem with one of my accounts” in Windows when I realized that it was an old work account that was complaining. The problem is that “Email and Accounts” in Windows 10 only provides a “Manage” option, which requires login:

Email and Accounts offers a manage button
Email and Accounts in Windows 10 with a work or school account

The answer: Settings -> Access work or school

This is a pretty simple one but I eventually found the answer here. By going to Settings -> Access work or school, you can [Disconnect]:

Settings -> Access work or school
Settings -> Access work or school

Click on the account that you want to disconnect:

Settings -> Access work or school -> [click account]

Click [Disconnect]:

[Disconnect]

After clicking [Yes], Windows will churn for a bit and then you should be all done:

All better
All done
