Answer 1

There's a thread (with answer) describing the same problem for people who changed from a local account to a Microsoft account:

Answer 2

Actually, I haven't changed to a Microsoft account yet.

Maybe the account name I have changed cause this
Anyway, thank you very much and have a nice day

Answer 3

Try running %appdata% and when it asks what program to use, select Notepad.

Then in the Notepad menu, go to File > Save as - You should see the filename, and in the address bar click the left side icon, and you'll see the full path to the file.

Navigate to the file and delete it.
