I don’t want to use Learn at this point. How do I delete it?

    To delete Microsoft Learn, sign in to your Learn profile, open Settings, and select Delete profile under Delete your profile.

    Delete your Microsoft Learn profile

    1. Select your profile icon in the upper-right corner of Microsoft Learn.
    2. Select Settings.
    3. Scroll to Delete your profile.
    4. Select Delete profile and complete the confirmation prompts. ^1^

    This is permanent and deletes all Learn-platform data, including credentials, certifications and skills, learning history, achievements, Q&A contributions, and challenge activity. It cannot be recovered. Download anything you need before proceeding. ^2^

    Deleting the Learn profile does not delete the Microsoft account used to sign in.

    If you meant the Windows Insider Program

    Microsoft Learn is the website hosting this Q&A; it is separate from Windows Insider. To stop preview builds on Windows 11:

    1. Open Start → Settings → Windows Update → Windows Insider Program.
    2. Select Stop getting preview builds.
    3. Follow the displayed unenrollment instructions.

    On Windows 10, open Settings → Update & Security → Windows Insider Program, then turn Stop getting preview builds on. ^3^

    Whether Windows can leave immediately depends on the installed build:

    • If the PC is on a production/public build: it can opt out without losing information.
    • If it is on an Insider-only build: enable unenrollment for the next public build, or back up your files and restore Windows using a released recovery image.
    • Simply using System → Recovery → Go back does not remove the PC from the Insider Program; another preview build can subsequently install. ^4^

    To identify the installed build, press Windows+R, enter winver, and note the version and OS build number.
