How do I remove suggested accounts from outlook?

When I click on a hyperlink on a website which takes me through to email automatically, i am brought to the outlook page. If i then go to accounts > add account there is suggested email addresses there.

Even having deleted them using the prompts, they are still there in the suggested emails and can be signed in with one click without having to enter a password, which is a major security risk.

How can I actually delete them? I have tried changing my password on the suggested email but alarmingly, the suggested email problem I'm describing above bypassed entering the new password and logged in automatically.

I have also tried clearing cache in outlook and google chrome and nothing has worked.

    I struggled with same and this is what worked for me

    remove all - C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneAuth\blobs

    open each file with notepad in - C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneAuth\accounts

    check which account you want to keep, and remove the files with unwanted accounts

    remove all - C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\IdentityCache

    Thanks, that worked for me.

    Hello, I am using the new Outlook on the web. When I click on the "Email, phone, or Skype" upon Sign in. When I click on the sign on line to input my email address. A black space pops up with extremely old emails. How do I delete and stop these from popping up ever?
