removing an unused account from the welcome screen
I share an office computer with several colleagues and when I turn it on I see the Teams welcome screen with several accounts of those who have used it, including a former colleague who no longer works with us. I want to remove her name, but I don't know how. I have removed her account in the general Windows settings, but her name is still there in Teams and gives me a little trigger every time (she left to avoid mobbing charges...) How can I make Teams forget about her?
Hello tatiana_larina,
in the new Teams, previously logged in accounts are displayed for selection after you log out.
To remove the users from the new Microsoft Teams, you can do the following.
- Click on the Windows button > Run
- Run one by one path from this list and delete evrything in the folder:%LocalAppData%\Packages\MSTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe
%LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.AAD.BrokerPlugin_cw5n1h2txyewy
%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\OneAuth
%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\TokenBroker
%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\IdentityCache
This will remove all the signed-in users (including the user you want to remove).
