If you have an Outlook account on your computer, it’s likely that you’ve set up a registry key to store the account’s settings. If you don’t have a registry key, you can remove the Outlook account from the registry by using the following steps:
- Open Registry Editor and navigate to the following location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Outlook\Accounts<user name><account number>
- Create a new key called “Outlook” and give it a value of “1” (the default).
- Add another key called “Organization” to the same location and give it a value of “1”.
- Add another key called “UserData” to the same location and give it a value of “1”.
- Save all these keys in their new locations.
- Close Registry Editor.
- Start Outlook and sign in with your Outlook account credentials (e.g., your user name and password).
Open Windows Explorer and go to Computer/This PC. Navigate to C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook. Delete the . ost file for the account that you want to remove from the registry.
