How to remove the Primary Account from Outlook

[@tilecleaningagents]

Thank you Carson, I was having problems trying to set my business email address as primary and after an hour of depressing research you've helped me find a quick solution!

[@grantmurray7249]

This how to guide has been a lifesaver, as I've been stuck in a loop with this...many thanks, Carson!!

[@zarbilzerian]

Thank you so much bro. As IT I got stuck resolving that, I almost got embarrassed and on the verge of losing my job as IT support 🙏 thank you again.

[@LarryPH]

Thank you 1000X. This was going to be a problem since I left my job today, so now I don't have to worry about it.

[@JJ-902]

After about 10 hours of trying to figure it out myself I thank god and everything good on this planet that I found this video. The stress of this was too much. Thank you so much man, i can breathe easy now

[@bammortgage]

Thank you Carson for your help. I was struggling to remove a work email address that Outlook considered the "Primary Account" your directions were easy to follow and worked nicely.

[@anthonymomiroski2353]

Perfect. Liked the vid. No one else knew how to sort this from the 50 or so pages I saw. I was getting corporate prompts for my old company, and couldn't remove that and it started crashing outlook on start up. Even a full reinstall didn't sort. This cleaned up everything. You're my hero! Well done!

[@sherylrichardson8585]

Cannot thank you enough for this video... I had been stuck with a primary account for months that had an expired security certificate and every time I opened outlook for my merge mail accounts I would get a warning pop up.... Great work Carson! :-)

[@CarsonCloud]

Great to hear!

[@weprojectinc1045]

Thanks, in our situation we did not have the Named user under profiles in registry location, so I ended up deleting all the Hex number folders in there, then it deleted the user on its own (probably still somewhere in there) without that persistent cannot delete primary account. Thanks a million for the direction!

[@arvzgarcia.agency]

Thanks, Carlson. You are very helpful. Some other Indian guys are confusing and complex. This is the really easy process of fix

[@openmind2012]

Thanks this worked but did remove all my other accounts i wanted to keep. So guess i could have just deleted all the accounts through outlook.

[@rishiyaswanth]

Thank you very much. IT team in my company wasted my time without providing resolution. You are right on point.

[@SM7SM7SM7]

Thank you for the simple explanation, I was getting really frustrated. Microsoft needs to revamp their software, it’s not user friendly

[@CarsonCloud]

Glad it helped!

[@brianc9036]

Thank You!!! This was way more complicated than it should have been to delete and former work account.

[@Jacob-qg6jq]

Thank you for this video!!! I tried many other videos and methods and it didnt work until I found you! 🙏

[@lottemahn7323]

[@peteradams7457]

Was so excited because this was the very message I was getting but then couldn't find it in the registry even after refreshing

[@MisJukebox]

God bless you man!! It was driving me crazy at work. Thank you! ☺️

[@bradenloader7589]

Hey Carson - When I go to Outlook under 16.0 (I am running 2016), the only folder available is Resiliency, even after I refresh. Any idea where Profiles would be?

[@parasmahajan3653]

Thank you very much great guy!! It helped me a lot. Love from India

[@digitalentertainment4120]

[@cossyman010]

Many thanks Carson!!! Your video has helped solved my problem. Blessings bro

[@CarsonCloud]

Glad it helped

[@techtipsuk]

This is just creating a new profile and setting up from scratch. You’re using Office 365 by the way. The registry part was not needed. Just create a new profile from within control panel.

[@mantracharlotte4105]

Hi Carson Thanks for the video. Btw after deleting the account from the registry, will I be able to use the same account on another computer? will my data get deleted as well ?

[@CarsonCloud]

The data on server will not be deleted

when i click on profiles I don't see any with the account I want to delete. Ones labeled New and ones labeled Outlook. Not sure what to do.

[@drunkesc15]

hello, thanks for the video.. but in my screen show me only 14.0 and 15.0 no 16.o and no show me outlook folder either... can you help me... thanks

[@rbea6904]

Carson Please help I don't get the name of the account I want to delete when I hit the Profiles tab the folder that comes up says Outlook - thank you !

[@jesscc1033]

if I remove primary account so can I signing in again with another computer?

[@cecilmurray4388]

Thank you you did a great job explaining how. However I am going to get someone more skilled than I to remove it.

[@garyclarkiii730]

It doesn’t show any version numbers for me, when I click Office folder it just shows Common, then Windows OOBE and nothing else

[@RoshanDeAlwis]

You can do the same from the control panel Outlook option. Just delete the profile and make a new one. but the challenge is to remove the primary account while the secondary account is intact which attached to the same profile

[@u-8743]
