Swapping CC Enterprise for my personal account on my computer - SSO prevents sign in

My computer previously had my company's Enterprise Creative Cloud. I want to use my personal account now so I tried to sign into CC but it jumps forward to the Microsoft SSO page. I cant back out of it. I tried to repair CC with no luck. I tried to uninstall CC but it wont let me with my other CC apps. Do I have to completely uninstall all the apps to uninstall the CC to remove the SSO? Will that work? That will take a day or two to accomplish so I need to know that it will work. Is there a better way that I am missing?

If you are trying to use your personal email to login and logging out does not prompt you to enter your new email, you can try removing the credentials manually:

First, your personal account should not be the same email as your company SSO account...

But if it is somehow, when you go to login choose the personal account option not company/school.
