Thanks for your respond Rakesh. Actually I don't have access to that particular operating system from where I need to switch into local account mode. As I was testing with Windows 10 in VMWare (Kinda Hyper-V) and due to some misconfiguration the operating system stopped working and I have to delete that operating system from the VMWare itself. Now I want to delete that device (As you can see in video it's a VMWare device) from Microsoft account... But the delete option is missing from that particular page.
