How can I get rid of a removed personal microsoft account?

Hi,
You could try the following steps:

1. Right-click on the Start button and then select Computer Management.
2. Navigate down through Local Users and Groups, and then double-click on Users.
3. Locate the username in the list that you’d like to delete.
4. Right-click the user account, and then click on Delete.

Take note of the following:

• Before you perform this procedure, you must provide credentials for the Administrator account on the local computer (if you are prompted), or you must be a member of the Administrators group on the local computer.
• When deleting a user account, it is recommended that you first disable the account. When you are certain that disabling the account has not caused a problem, you can safely delete the account.
• Once you delete a user account, it cannot be recovered.
• The Guest account and the Administrator account cannot be deleted.

Best regards.

@Anonymous Unfortunately, I have deleted the account in question so I can't get past the first step in that solution. Thank you though, wish I found that before I deleted it.
