    How to delete a Windows Store account


    A while back, I created a 2nd Windows account to by a new Minecraft for my son. I thing that has created a login problem for me. He no longer uses my PC. I have checked the Accounts>Email & accounts>Accounts used by other apps settings and it only has my primary account so it is not a profile issue. The only thing I can think of is that I have in fact created two Windows Store accounts. How do I delete the account I created for my son?

    :)

    How to delete a Windows Store account

    Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
    I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

    Hope you're doing great today despite this JIMHAWK54

    Please tell me, what's the exact login problem in your case?

    In the meantime, if you open the Microsoft store > click on the little person icon > are you able to see the created account?
    Or just your main account appears?
    (If maybe you have installed the Minecraft launcher or the Xbox app, check both apps as well)

    Unable to Download Sea of Thieves

    I'm Samy an independent advisor. Welcome to the community. How are you?

    Try downloading the game from the Microsoft Store, first delete the temporary files from your PC, ignore the ones you can't, and then clear the store cache, restart your PC and try downloading the game again.

    Clear store cache

    windows key + r and type ''wsreset'' wait for the black screen to close and open the store automatically, it takes a while.

    Clean your PC's temporary files

    windows key + R and type %TEMP% and delete everything from the folder.

    If the problem persists, try downloading the game using a local administrator account on your Windows. This link contains instructions on how to create the account.

    Solitaire Microsoft Collection

    Thanks for the update, that's odd Brielle

    We can try reinstalling the app in this case

    Once you delete it, please do this:

    Sign out from your Microsoft account on the Store and Xbox app, then:

    Step 1: Open the Run window by pressing Windows + R key.

    Step 2: Input WSReset.exe in the Run window and click OK.

    Step 3: Then a command prompt window will appear. After a few seconds, Windows Store will open.

    Try installing the app now and see how it goes
