How to delete personal settings in the Win8 sync to the cloud

  

When you log in with your Microsoft account, your computer will automatically connect to the cloud. This means that many of your personal settings and preferences are stored on an online Microsoft server and can be synced to any computer you are logged into. So, you need to choose to unsynchronize some data, and you can turn off syncing for specific settings.

If you want to stop setting up sync and remove settings from the cloud, you need to do two things:

1. Turn off sync settings on all computers connected to your Microsoft account. (If you use your Microsoft account on multiple computers, you must do this for each computer.)

2. Remove your personal settings from the cloud. (You only need to do this once.)

To turn off sync settings on each computer:

1. Swipe past the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, then tap More Computer settings. (If you are using a mouse, point to the top right corner of the screen, click Settings, then click More Computer Settings.)

2. Synchronize your settings and then turn off sync settings on this computer.

To remove personal settings from the cloud:

After turning off sync settings on each computer, go to Remove personal settings from the cloud and click Remove.
