How to change my user account on git?

Question

I changed my username and my email and I would like to change my username_old to username_new but I have always this git error.

$ git push

remote: Permission to k***/minetest.git denied to username_old.

fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/k***/minetest.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403

I tried this link: https://help.github.com/articles/setting-your-username-in-git/

When I ask about my username it show username_new

I think that I must to delete a certificate on Windows 10 but I dont know where is this file?

I have the same error but in windows 10 : https://superuser.com/questions/1064197/how-to-switch-git-user-at-terminal

your question is already answered in this question:

remove credentials from git

"Open User Accounts by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking User Accounts and Family Safety (or clicking User Accounts, if you are connected to a network domain), and then clicking User Accounts. In the left pane, click Manage your credentials."

There you can delete the info and execute the git command again with a user/command prompt.
