I am trying to delete an add-in with Outlook and I keep getting a message that it can only be disconnected by an administrator. my User account on my PC is set to be the administrator. Any ideas?

Close Outlook and relaunch Outlook by Right Clicking on the shortcut and "Run as Administrator". Then remove the add-in

Please start outlook by running it with administrative permissions or disable UAC temporary.
Is there an echo in here?
You need to run outlook in safe mode to remove add-in. Run the following command to start outlook in safe mode.

   outlook.exe /safe
1. run outlook.exe as admin by right click
2.can delete the addin from registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins AND
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Addins. Restart Outlook/machine

for all above same account should have admin access
Try to use the build-in admin account if Run as Admin mode did not work.
========================
1.       Click the Start button, and then type cmd in the search box.
In the search results list, right-click cmd, and then click Run as Administrator.
2.       At the command prompt, type net user administrator /active:yes, and then press ENTER.  
3.       Type net user administrator <Password>, and then press ENTER.
 Note:  Please replace the <Password> tag with your passwords which you want to set to administrator account.
 Type exit, and then press ENTER. Run Outlook as this administrator account again.
