Cant remove work or school account from personal PC

To remove a work or school account from your personal PC, you can follow these steps:

Open the "Settings" app on your PC. You can do this by clicking on the Start menu and selecting the "Settings" gear icon.

In the Settings window, click on the "Accounts" option.

On the left-hand side, select the "Access work or school" category.

Click on the entry associated with your work or school account, and then click on the "Remove" button.

Confirm the removal of the credential if prompted.

By following these steps, you should be able to remove the work or school account from your personal PC successfully.

Hello @Redistro !

i can understand that you need to remove the Work Account from your personal PC since you left an organization

Allow me to make proposals and if you have already done them please let me know

i suppose most of them maybe already done

FIrst of all logout from any Outlook , Word or other apps you may have been using

Remove the credentials from Control Panel - Credential Manager - WIndows Credentials

From the Accounts Option select Access Work account and Disconnect ( i guess you tried but i have to ask !)

If nothing works try this but first take a backup of the registry

Navigate to the following registry key:

1. HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\IdentityCRL\StoredIdentities

Under the StoredIdentities key, you should find the Work or School account that you want to remove. Right-click on the account and select Delete.

1. Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

Waiting your feedback!

I hope this helps!

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WorkplaceJoin\TenantInfo 

values which include old Work Account, then dsregcmd.exe /status was clean. No extra work accounts. Setup => Accounts didn't show that work account. Also Control Panel - Credential Manager - WIndows Credentials not included ... or didn't see it.
