How to remove autofill email from 'choose an account' part of Profile page in Microsoft Edge?
Hello,
Can you try to remove the your e-mail account from the device ?
On Windows 10 (tested on Win 10 21h2)
Setting ==> Account setting
E-mail & account
Remove the problematic e-mail in Edge :
Note(s):
I tried the following things before coming to this solution and None of the below modification resolved the issue:
- create new profile
- remove my device from microsoft.com
- remove the e-mail address in HKLM (i searched my address through plain text)
- remove the problematic account from credentials manager
- delete the profile folder in %USERAPPDATA%/Microsoft/Edge (could not complete the operation, the folder was "open somewhere in the file system)
The problematic email was in the 'Email & accounts' settings page a while ago, but was removed and I cannot see it there now.
I honestly cannot find the email anywhere in my system, it just pops up as an autofill despite being removed everywhere I could remove it from.
Thanks for the help though.
EDIT: I went and deleted all traces of the email from Registry Editor, yet it still shows up in Edge.
- If you want to just create a new profile without an email attached, the Add Profile button should be fine.
