Hi-

I just set up the Mail app in Windows 10 and have now realised that there is no way to get rid of my Microsoft account within it, because, unlike my other email accounts (gmail, etc) there is no 'delete account' option. (Side note, but that REALLY needs to get fixed. Does anyone even use their Microsoft account inbox?)

I've already been scouring the internet all evening looking for a solution, and I've tried pretty much everything. I've tried adding other accounts, but there's no way (that I can find) to delete the first one even then. I've tried uninstalling it using Powershell, restarting my computer, then reinstalling it from the Store, but it always keeps my data from before, which is absolutely maddening. I've tried, so far as I can tell, everything.

So what I need at this point is either a way to restore the Mail app to how it was before I ever opened it so that I can set it up from scratch, or a way to go in a remove all the data that Windows is keeping somewhere even after I've uninstalled the program.

A million thanks to anyone who can solve this!
