Clear microsoft teams credentials

I recently downloaded Microsoft teams for Linux to accomodate job interviewers. I first logged in with my university credential to check if everything was working fine. However, when I tried to log with my "normal" address, the one I was supposed to use for the job interview I could not log out of the university profile. Even after removing the package, I would still get the university credential login page. In this article I quickly explain the process I followed

Install Microsoft Teams

This is pretty straightforward: I downloaded the debian package and used the following commands:

cd Downloads/
sudo apt install ./teams_1.3.00.25560_amd64.deb

Uninstall using remove and purge

The classic way to uninstall a package is remove:

sudo apt remove teams

However since this was not enough to get rid of the university credential, I reinstalled and tried purge:

sudo apt purge teams

Solution: remove the cache files

I found out, by searching for all the occurences of "teams", that there are folders that are not cleared when uninstalling: in home, look for the ".config" folder which contains one "Microsoft" folder and one "teams" folder. Getting rid of both resolved the issue and I was able to connect with other credentials!
