Removing MS account options #197

Hi, did some upgrades without keeping apps, worked perfectly and deleted the MS account, which was great.

So, did one upgrade keeping apps settings etc. and of course it kept the MS account. Expected.

But since I do not want the MS account on this system, I will have to do it again and remove all apps and settings to get there.

If any talented person feels like building an app that can remove the MS Account from a Windows system,
leaving it with only local accounts, I would be interested to know about it.

None of the usual suggestions work. I have deleted the MS account from the MS environment, as in closed and deleted.

I have logged off this account from this system, and there are only Local accounts on the System now. W11 PRO.

Administrator is a local account. I use the Administrator account.

There are no user accounts on this system that match my old deleted MS account.

However, the system keeps suggesting that I sign in with this non existent account to "verify my account"

The old account is dotted throughout the Registry. I am thinking of changing all instances of my old MS account in the registry to "Local Account"
Thanks, your attention.
Suggestions welcome.
