Hi! Let me help you.

What happens when you try to delete it in the Account settings?

Answer 3

To disconnect a school (work or school) account from a personal Windows 11 device and remove its management and restrictions, use Windows Settings and, if needed, the My Account portal.

1. On the Windows device, open Settings.
2. Go to Accounts > Access work or school (briefcase icon), or use this shortcut: Access work or school.
3. Select your school account in the list.
4. Choose Disconnect.
5. Confirm by selecting Yes.

This removes the work/school connection and its policies from the device. It does not delete the school account itself; it only removes its sign-in information and data from this device.

If the device is still shown as connected to the school in the cloud, or if there is no access to the device anymore:

1. Sign in to the My Account portal with the school account: My Account.
2. Select Devices in the left navigation.
3. Find the personal device in the list and select Disable for that device.
4. Confirm when prompted.

After disabling, that device can no longer be authenticated by the organization and will not be able to access school resources.

Note: Some organizations may enforce policies that prevent manual unenrollment from MDM. In that case, the school’s IT admin must remove the device or send an unenroll/wipe command. Disconnecting can also result in loss of organization-managed data and apps on the device.
