How to delete personal settings synchronized to the cloud in Win8

When you log on with a Microsoft account, your computer will automatically connect to the cloud. This means that many of your personal settings and preferences are stored on a Microsoft server that is online and can then be synchronized to any computer that you log on to. So, you need to choose to cancel synchronizing some data, and you can turn off synchronization for specific settings.

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

1. Close sync settings on all computers that connect to the Microsoft account. (If you use your Microsoft account on more than one computer, you must do this for each computer.) )

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

To turn off sync settings on each computer:

1. Swipe through the right edge of the screen, click Settings, and then click More Computer Settings. (If you are using a mouse, point to the upper-right corner of the screen, click Settings, and then click More Computer Settings.) )

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

To remove personal settings from the cloud:

After you turn off sync settings on each computer, go to remove personal settings from the cloud and click Delete.
