How to delete primary account in Microsoft outlook

[@StupidDust]

Why is your video the only reasonable instruction on how to do this on the entire internet? Bless you.

[@AldoJames]

Awww. At first I thought you were going to say something bad about the video haha thanks for the kind comments :D

[@andrewbeijl]

Literally!

[@luminary5878]

This worked BEAUTIFULLY. I don't understand why outlook has to be so annoying. Thank you from the bottom of my heart

[@AldoJames]

Aww glad it helped!

[@sarahfahad9523]

What a Lifesaver!! I've been suffering from my company account being installed on my personal PC with an outdated password that is tricky to change and eventually it affected the security of my company PC and I was having a multiple account locks. Hopefully this way will stop the locks.. Thanks!

[@robbdc1]

This is genuinely the best explanation of how to do this I've seen. I've been fighting with this for 2 hours. Thank you so much for sharing this helpful information!

[@AldoJames]

Aww thank you!

[@abdullahalnahian1185]

Watched many videos but didn't work. Finally watching your video and it works... thank you very much....

[@AldoJames]

You're welcome!

[@SCmnoutdoors]

Fantastic video, I searched for hours on how to do this and this is the only process that worked, thank you!!!

[@AldoJames]

Yay!

[@elyash90]

I had to watch 5 videos until I saw this one. This was so easy. Thank you!

[@AldoJames]

So glad mine helped!

[@hgt1001]

That set of instructions was exactly what I needed and extremely helpful. Thank you. Howard

[@AldoJames]

Glad it was helpful!

[@hughbrown6547]

Makes so much more sense when watched rather than read. Many thanks!

[@AldoJames]

Welcome!!

[@martinlanders1623]

Really appreciate this - Ive had a hell of job trying to resolve this until I found your page - Many thanks

[@qinsheb7469]

They've done this complicated for nothing! Thx for the instructions

[@chrisangelcosta]

This is way better than previously known. Thanks a lot!

[@AldoJames]

Thank you

[@dududu944]

Thank you very much I found your video. This has been my worst work nightmare for almost 1year. Our IT support team couldn't fix it.

[@eudofia]

Very useful. Thank you. Worked like a charm. I couldn't even get this kind of information from Microsoft support.

[@AldoJames]

Welcome!!

[@blakeendeavor6667]

Thank you very much. Your video helped a work removing an account that I don’t need anymore

[@AldoJames]

YOu're welcome!

[@gordon801]

This worked great, appreciate you going through the theory behind why you're not worried about certain dialogues etc. Way better than approaches where you have to go to the registry editor.

[@AldoJames]

Welcome :D

[@ansonturley2589]

Excellent video. Very cleary explained. Great job!

[@AldoJames]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Tus1209]

OMG!! Thank you so much. This helped a lot.

[@AldoJames]

You're welcome!

[@jadediamond5343]

Hi, how do I change the primary account when the ap wants me to sign into the work account that is no longer active? I have already disconnected the work account on my PC settings and checked for updates.

[@danilochavez4167]

Hi, thanks for your video! I followed your instructions and it works perfect except for the calendar and contacts that do not sync anymore. Any advise?

[@aparajitkr2870]

Thanks broo. Worked great

[@AldoJames]

I'm so glad it worked for you! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel.

[@honghiaphuong2052]

nice work, you helped me a lot.

[@tasquill]

Looks promising for what I need to achieve....I want to delete an unused primary account but still keep the secondary attached security account, then make this second account the primary, will this method work? Thanks!

[@startmeup775]

Hi, great explanation. I've done most of what you've shown BUT. I have two email accounts in outlook. The primary is an account I've had for a long time (but my provider has shut it down) and so the calendar has a lot of recurring series dates, birthdays, reminders etc. If I change the default data file address to the new email account will those calendar dates transfer to the new default account?

[@humaimakabirnassir9287]

Thank you so much this really helped!

[@AldoJames]

Glad it helped!

[@olern96]

what about the emails? The file structure and so on, on my personal email? Will it dissapear when i delete my personal email? My job account is primary account, and i cant change it. Thats why i need to try this tech tip. Btut i dont want to loose the filestructure or the correspondence i have! I appreciate all answers

[@alexz4724]

Great video! thanks!

[@arieschick1]

Thank you. Well done

[@AldoJames]

Thank you too!

[@raulguajardo2331]

I got a new computer and transferred all my contacts from the old outlook to the new computer outlook. I somehow created a glitch that made a bunch of ghost emails appear on the inbox on my server email (gmail). Blank emails with no sender or content. Any ideas on how I can reverse this process?

[@Pched1985]

Thanks so much works perfectly

[@AldoJames]

You're welcome!

[@billyd78]

Thank you! This was driving me crazy lol

[@AldoJames]

You're welcome :)

[@MrGrimreaper1775]

I get stuck at “ADD” it gives me a different message ( this command is not available because the application is in reduced functionality mode. You may need to close and restart the application to resolve this issue.) HELP!!!

[@AldoJames]

Ohh I haven’t seen that :( have you got it working?

[@mahmoudabdulbaky5625]

you remove all accounts What about if I need to leave the secondary one and remove only the primary account? or should delete the two accounts and add the other account later.

[@f.johnniep986]

if you delete the Outlook profile will you lose all emails and subfolders when re adding it?

[@AldoJames]

Emails are stored online so it will remain :)

[@ivanwill]

That is certainly one method. Can one not merely delete the Outlook profile from the Control Panel \ Mail?

[@AldoJames]

Not for the primary account, going via the control panel brings up the same outlook account settings dialogue box which will not let you delete your primary account if you haven't replicated it's data files. Hope this helps :)

[@iot3136]

❤❤❤ Thank you 🙏

[@lucio0075]

thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

[@maryame5844]

thank you great job

[@SANDRAGARCIAGARCIA-kj3lx]

I have 2 exchange accounts and this trick didn't work for me. Could you recommend another option?

[@bobbowen2052]

Genius. Thank you!

[@djempathie.9889]

Hi mate, i wonder if you can help me? My outlook account inbox has been archived. Can you tell me how i can get this back to normal inbox and not archive? Also how i can save photos in windows 10 mail?

[@AldoJames]

Sorry I'm not too sure how to do this

[@djempathie.9889]

@@AldoJames Thanks.

[@SilasGilligan]

[@AldoJames]

[@evans6264]

Thank you. I was pulling my fkn hair out. You lifesaver beauty you!

[@AldoJames]

😊😊

[@andyoeft]

If there are multiple accounts in your Outlook, this does not work.

[@simmsamma1348]

why did they make this so painfully annoying....im trying to close this account but i dont get the verification code to my correct phonenumber?? any help:)

[@AldoJames]

Idk I think it’s a legacy issue with outlook tbh. If you’re not getting the text message you’ll need to sign into your office account online (office.com) and double check you have the right number attached to your account

[@andriapaonessa2338]

It didn't work for me, says I have to change my email from all Exchange accounts. Will have to search how to do that. I hate Outlook

[@Nolwaziie]

The screen on the laptop isnt clear..it makes it really hard to follow along with just your words .Please work on making sure that step by step processes are clearly shown .You have to show us where to access those settings for the account too .Just a feedback from a visual learner. Some of us want to see well so that we follow.Thank you.Maybe only show your face at the start of the video and remove it from the corner,so that We only hear your voice while we see the process on the laptop .That will be so easy to follow along.

[@Simon-fr4ts]

I just delete the mail profile and re-create it.

[@double8432]

the steps you need to take for this is a reason microsoft fucking sucks. your great tho

[@kewalramdangal8299]

Delite maicrosoft data

[@AldoJames]
