This question refers to steps 3 and 4 in the thread How to rename the User folder in Windows 10?
The troublesome steps are:

3) Remove original Microsoft linked account
4) Link local account to Microsoft account if you wish

I was stuck on those 2 steps. I couldn't find a way in Windows 10 to remove the Microsoft account.

Any ideas?

I found it. This is so strange. After you create new local user, You should add your Microsoft account from the email & app accounts section and verify that. Then just remove old local account that windows created automatically. Now you have a new local account that links to your Microsoft account with the name you want.

Hope this help.
