Does leaving the Xbox update preview remove accounts from my Xbox?

"it isn't connected to the Xbox account that is logged on to the xbox, but tied to the hardware"

True, to my understanding, but after the console is factory reset and reinitializes with an account to complete any updates, even if the console updates to an Insider preview, all thats required is to download the Insider Hub from the Store, run it and remove the console from any preview it may have been in.

Once you remove the console, using the Insider Hub, from a preview it will reset once again, and should be on the GA release OS for Xbox.

You will need your account info.

Here's how to remove your console from the Xbox Preview program:

Open the Xbox Preview Dashboard app.

Select Registration.

Under Manage flights, select Change.

Note If you have more than one console in the program, you can change their statuses by using Manage other consoles.

Under Manage programs, select Remove, and then select Submit. You'll be prompted to select a reason for leaving.

Hey Lee thanks for taking the time to reply!

This seems to be coming from the Insider Program so we suggest leaving the program to test this:
