Scott Blank 0

So my son(me writing a my dad trying to fix his PC) signed in to his Copilot on my new PC, which ended up taking over everything which was unexpected, he thought he could just log out of Copilot an his account wouldnt be there anymore. well that wasnt the case, now my new PC which didnt have an account on it or created cause well he didnt need one. Well tired to create an account an add it an make it Admin, all that did was create a new everything an all the info under account thats now linked to sons info is there all my business docs an the new account that was created has nothing. We need to completely remove his account off this PC. how do i go about this? i have followed everything AI suggested added user an then removed it said all data was being removed but obviosity it wasnt. is there away to do this?

To better understand the situation, could you please open Settings > Accounts > Your info while signed in to the Windows profile containing your business documents and confirm whether your son's Microsoft email address appears there? Also, do you see the option Sign in with a local account instead? This is important because your son's Microsoft account may have become linked to your existing Windows user profile, meaning you might be able to disconnect it without creating another Windows account or losing access to your files.

Additionally, could you confirm whether your son's account appears under Settings > Accounts > Other users, or only under Your info and Email & accounts? When you previously removed an account, which one did you delete: the newly created administrator account or the original profile containing your business documents? Please do not delete any additional Windows user profiles until identify where your files are stored and ensure they are backed up.
