As with so much of the computer help information online, this doesn’t work. I believe it probably worked at the time it was written, which is only six months ago, but it must already be obsolete. I cleared all browsing data, just as described, and Edge still autofills unwanted email addresses. Thanks for trying…
I am unable to deduce the problem. To resolve your issue, kindly refer to the first and second images I appended in this post: https://i2.wp.com/techdirectarchive.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Edge-keep-remembering-my-email-2.png?ssl=1
I’m in the same boat as Vince. I also think most info is outdated. I can go to the profiles page ok, but but the “addresses and more” button does not exist in the Sept. ’21 version of edge. The ONLY options are:
Microsoft Rewards
Personal info
Passwords
Payment info
Import browser data
Profile preference
Thank you for the information Ron. I will reach on this and a new guide will be created and linked to this article.
In case anyone is still struggling with this, what worked for me was going on:
Windows Settings>Accounts>Email & Accounts
and removing the email address from the list there. That did the job with removing the unwanted email from Edge but still struggling with the same issue on MS TEAMS.
Thank you very much Loukas for sharing your findings.
Yes ! This works well! Thanks for sharing this info.
You are welcome
Nope, no longer works 07/18/2023 – Yes, you can delete the account but opening MS Outlook or other apps linked to Microsoft will once again put it back in place. Adding a policy to prevent adding blocks even the Administrator from adding or removing from the UI but does not stop the application from adding an entry. I’ve been using Windows for 30 years but each day I have to keep putting up with the “Live in the Cloud” attitude of Microsoft pushes me closer and closer to using a Mac or Linux and I’m not a fan of Mac.
