How to delete non-existant work/school account from windows 10 local account

Windows 10 keeps telling me that an account connected to my PC's local login account needs to be "fixed", but the problem account no longer exists. I cannot "disconnect" it because Windows 10 tells me it does not belong to a domain (which is correct) and refuses to move past that dialog. And I cannot "manage" the account because it does not exist so I can't log into it.

How can I delete this account from the PC's local login account? The PC login account was originally created without an online account, and then I logged in to my online account and it got attached. I don't know how the second, broken account got attached, but I get ongoing warnings about it needing to be fixed.

Select "Access work or school" instead of "Email & accounts" Then you can select the work account and you get the Disconnect button.Disconnect Work Account - windows 10

My Windows version: Windows 10, 1909.

In Windows' "Your info" select "Sign in with a local account instead" and change your account to a local account. You will have to enter a password for the local account.

This will log you out and then back in using the new password.

Return to "Your Info" and disconnect all the accounts you want to get rid of on either the "Access work or school" page or the "Your Info" page.

When done, return to "Your Info" and sign in with your Microsoft account again.
