Delete ALL Accounts from Outlook 2013
#1
Hi Guys

Does anyone know how to delete ALL the users AND ALL data from Outlook 2013 so that it starts with the setup wizard as if it's just been installed? I don't want to go down the add a new email account and delete the other one route, as I want everything back to zero, as if I've just installed it.

I found the 'Mail' link in control panel, and deleted the only user profile there was in outlook, but then when I open outlook it wants me just add a profile instead of going through the setup wizard. I also had a quick look in the registry, but couldn't find anything blatantly obvious to do with profiles accounts and users.
Remember! You should exercise complete CTRL and you ALT to think carefully before you DELete stuff willy nilly.

This will delete the default Outlook profile folder, and then recreate a new Outlook folder. Then just open Outlook, and you should get the launch wizard to create a new account.

Code:
% reg.exe delete HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Profiles\Outlook /f
% reg.exe add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Profiles\Outlook

You can also do this in control panel and click mail icon, then remove profile.
