    How to delete all traces of an account?


    I once signed in in Windows with an outlook account, and then I logged out since I don't need it anymore. Problem is that now I see that account being offered as a sign in option in different apps (Edge, Skype, etc). How can I completely remove all traces of it? Thanks

    Thanks Ghot, I think that I did that in the past and somehow the removed account reappeared out of nowhere. Hope this time it's done for good.

    It could be that Windows updates keeps putting it back.
