AzureAD Join Hijacked Local Account?

I had a Windows 10 account that I logged in with using my hotmail e-mail address. Later on, I connected this account using AzureAD join. Now I login to this account using my work e-mail. Connecting to AzureAD join seems to have converted the local account into an AzureAD join account, but it still uses the local C:\Users\<hotmail account> folder.

I want to remove the work access and go back to the original account. I know that I can do this by disconnecting, but Windows warns me saying that if I disconnect, then I can no longer sign-in with the account.

I thought I would be able to login with my old hotmail account since it was the original sign-in. I tried signing in with my hotmail account, but it won't recognize the password even though it is correct.

What happens if I disconnect? Do I lose access to this account? Why won't Windows 10 recognize my hotmail account anymore? I can login to hotmail with web browsers, but not Windows 10.

This seems like a serious design flaw.

EDIT:

Well, I lost the account after disconnecting and providing an admin account. Thanks alot crappy Windows 10 and AzureAD. Now I have to manually copy over the contents of my old account into a new admin account. This is a pretty serious design flaw in my opinion. You should be able to disconnect from an AzureAD join and go back to the original sign-in. AzureAD should not be hijacking a local account.
