    To remove an account from the Microsoft Authenticator app, follow these steps:

    1. Open the Microsoft Authenticator app on your device.
    2. Locate the account you want to remove.
    3. Tap on the credential card for that account to view its details.
    4. In the upper right corner, select the trash can icon to delete the account.
    5. Confirm the deletion prompt.

    Please note that deleting a verifiable credential from the Authenticator is an irrevocable process, meaning you cannot recover it once deleted. You will need to go through the issuance process again if you wish to add it back later.
