Issue to remove an account used by other apps - Win10
Hi Experts,
I was a contractor for a company but they never gave me a laptop to use so I used my own. Anyways long story short they gave me email and OneDrive account. My contract ended and now I have this account under Settings->Email & accounts. It's under the 'Accounts used by other apps'. I see there is a 'Manage' button. I click that and then I login but I never get the 'Remove' or 'Delete' the account. I only got the options to disable devices.
I'm trying to follow all directions from their helpdesk but they don't understand, I don't see a 'Remove' button. So hoping someone here can help. I'm an administrator on my laptop too, so it shouldn't be a permissions issue.

When I click manage, I only see 'Devices' and I can de-activate devices. I de-activated all of them.
The clients account with that email is not and adminstrator on my laptop. I only login with my login which is an administrator.
They said they would try this and obviously it did not work:
There should be a remove button. I went ahead and disabled your SLFB account and it takes 30 minutes to sync. My thought is that since you do not have a Remove button then it is synced with the O365 we manage. I went ahead and disabled the account. Let’s wait 30 minutes, restart your computer, and let me know if it is still there.
Not sure what 'data' I need access to.
Maybe they need to activate my email and my Office365 permissions too?

I did all that. Apparently there is another place to do this. Microsoft customer service actually solved it. Unreal how I didn't see this. Click on one of those and the account showed up with the Delete option.

Is this account administrative on your laptop?
Potentially this was done/disabled on the office365 side.
Do you still have access to the data.. Check with the former firm.
