Windows Phone 8 Remove Facebook Account

Alternatively and additionally, it may be ineptitude. I have a SharePoint online list that no longer provides the 'Title' field in a new item and they couldn't figure it out. It's all web based, nothing I could do to break that other than not having added anything new to the list since early 2022. Maybe it got rusty? Maybe they have no idea how to fix anything because the only help I received either had nothing to do with the question or it was, "Oh well, what are ya goin to do" Create a new list.
And some feedback to the morons at Microsoft: the P in PC stands for PERSONAL computer. Meaning it's MY fracking computer, and I get to decide what is installed on it, and what -- because it's a badly designed piece of garbage -- I may want to remove.
windows phone 8 remove facebook account
Where are the instructions? I need to remove phone link that causes me to lose many incoming phone calls to my Iphone 14 and does not work well anyway. Uninstall is greyed out. Whoever provided a method to remove, please forward to me as well. Thanks a lot
I cannot see what is wrong with above, but it did not work copying & pasting to PowerShell when run as admin, but this that looks the same (spacing or characters different?) from another Ms. page did work:
Tried and received the following error: Get-AppxPackage: The 'Get-AppxPackage' command was found in the module 'Appx', but the module could not be loaded due to the following error: [Operation is not supported on this platform. (0x80131539)]
P.S. to bring up powershell, enter 'powershell' into your windows search on your taskbar. You will see ' Windows PowerShell'. Right-Click Windows power shell and then select 'Run as administrator'. If your login profile of you computer is NOT an Administrator account, it should prompt you for an administrator account and password.
Also i had it pinned to taskbar but after using the powershell to remove the app the taskbar still remained there. Its not showing anything but if i right-click on the empty space on my taskbar it shows the options for the phone link app. Is there a way to fix that.
This worked. But seriously, needing to go to this great a length including all the searching to find this answer should be illegal. Just like places like amazon and Facebook are now required by law to make closing an account as easy as opening it.
Thank you; I was so excited about making this work. But when 3 Spam messages that I know I deleted yesterday, popped up in the Phone Link app, with no way to select and delete them, I was very disappointed. Your answer did the trick. Thank you.
Btw, Fyi: I use Google Messages on an Android phone (Moto g 2023)
That was a very easy fix. I've been having problems with the app, and the MS Troubleshooting steps that I've followed recommend reinstalling the app. But, I couldn't find Phone Link listed in the apps in my Control Panel nor anywhere else that traditionally I've uninstalled apps. I know nothing about Powershell right now; I'm an old "DOS" guy from the everything-from-the-dot-prompt era, years before Windows came out! But your instructions made it easy. I've got to learn more about Powershell. Thank you!
ain't no way I'd ever have figured this out. I had high hopes for Phone Link but all it does is wreck my iphone text chains, delete messages, and not resolve my contacts (shows phone #) - which makes normal usage of my iphone pretty bad. no thanks!
I copied and pasted the command, and got an error message saying that 'Get-appxPackage' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or file. Is there another way to uninstall this app?
Thank you so much. Windows has serious boundary issues. All these companies do. The way these windows link apps refuse to close and just keep self reviving and reconnecting without permission now matter what settings you throw at them feels extremely slimy.
My PC was having issues going into S3 Sleep. I uninstalled using this command given, and now is able to go into sleep without issues. Tried many times, and Sleep is successful. Earlier it used to work sporadically.
. There's a few ways without getting all CLI happy. . . . . Settings, Apps, click on Phone Link and click Uninstall. Another way is Control Panel, Under Programs click Uninstall a Program, then right click on the one you want to remove.
Microsoft Store apps usually have an uninstall link in the menu, (right click for context menu), and I think it's appalling that the Phone Link app doesn't. I guess they want to make it an integral part of the operating system. Xbox Game Bar is another. As if I would ever want to use that! :(
This is why I NEVER will install or sign in a microsoft app again. Even on my phone with live.com. They chronically ask me to sign in and I refuse. I cannot trust microsoft to allow me to change my mind. Once they have you they are like Hotel California-YOU CAN NEVER LEAVE!!!
The above fix worked. However, needing to go to this great a length including all the searching to find this answer should be illegal. Just like places like amazon and Facebook are now required by law to make closing an account as easy as opening it.
Microsoft has no right to connect to my android phone there should be a lawsuit against them for this. I guess my going in and removing all their spying software and bloating from widows was not enough now I have to shut off my phone to use my computer at work. I will seek legal action if they continue to invade my privacy.
Ive found the same here, its acting like a VIRUS and is using the CPU enough to have the fan start up, whenever the PC is idle and the screen is off. As soon as it is woken up, the process stops. WinBlows 11's own activity report shows it using HOURS of CPU even though the app is completely disconnected and disabled, and set to NOT run on startup. Ive reported it to Feedback Hub, but nothing has been done, and Im sick of hearing my PCs CPU and the Phone's battery being shredded whenever Im not using it. Ive just installed AirDroid...
When you sign in with your Microsoft account on your Windows Phone 8.1, you can turn on a service that lets you automatically save important things to the cloud so you'll have a backup if something happens to your phone.
One of the toughest things about replacing a lost phone or upgrading is getting your accounts, apps, and settings just the way you like them on your new phone. We can create a backup of all sorts of things to make the transition easier, including:
Deleting backups on your phone only removes the local copy, but you can delete backups permanently from OneDrive (formerly SkyDrive). Log in to your OneDrive account and go to Settings > Options > Device settings. You'll see a list of your backups and can delete any you want.
You can automatically back up your SMS and MMS messages to the cloud. That way, the next time you get a new Windows Phone, you can restore your conversations when you set up the phone. When you delete your messages from your phone, they'll be deleted from the cloud as well, so you're always in sync.
If you lose your Windows Phone 8.1 or decide to upgrade it, you can restore your apps, text messages, accounts, and many settings and passwords from your old phone when you set up your new one. All you need is a Microsoft account and a backup from your old phone.
Tip: Restoring a backup can use a lot of data, so you may want to connect to a Wi-Fi network during setup. Otherwise, the restore will use your cellular data and you may incur charges.
