There are several ways to properly delete your Google account on Android. Removal methods depend on the firmware version and superuser rights.
Let's take a closer look at the simplest and fastest ways to reset an account to.
Google account Is a universal account that is used to associate all your devices with, video hosting, search engines, online documents and other useful services.
Registering and linking an account is a prerequisite for setting up a device for the first time.
In the future, users can "untie" or completely delete existing accounts.
Content:
Method 1 - Using OS Settings
The first removal method is the easiest and safest. Google support recommends it. Use this option if:
- You delete your profile, to troubleshoot the problem and then re-authorize in the system with the same account;
- You transfer your smartphone or tablet to the use of a loved one, without fear that he may have access to your contacts and files;
- You want to log out of your existing account and re-login with a new account.
After deleting the account in this way, all files, phone numbers, the settings will remain unchanged:
- Open the application menu and click on "Settings";
- In the window that opens, find the field "Accounts…" and click on it. Select the used profile to be deleted;
- In the new window, click on the additional parameters button - it is located in the upper right corner. In the dropdown list, click on "Delete entry".
Delete error
Sometimes an error or device freeze may occur during standard uninstallation. As a result, the old profile remains in place and nothing happens.
You can solve the problem by adding another account to the application. If several accounts are registered in the system, one of them will be deleted without problems.
Follow the instructions:
1 Open your Gmail email app. It is preinstalled on all Android devices;
2 In the main window of the program, click on the menu button and in the list of options select "Add another account";
3 In the list of proposed services, select Google and click on "Proceed";
4 A new window offers to choose one of two options for adding a profile- creating a new even account or logging into an existing account that is not yet linked to. Choose the option that suits you;
5 After logging in, open the Gmail program again. The address you just added will appear in its settings window. One mail is loaded as primary, the rest are additional services. To make a new account the main one, just click on the icon with the user's photo.
Now that you have selected a different account as your primary mail storage, go to again and repeat the first method of deleting the account. It should be deleted without any problems, since there is already another user profile on the smartphone.
Method 2 - Forced deletion
This type of account reset implies a "rough" deletion of all linked user accounts, data and files.
Making a backup
The resulting file will be saved to the root folder of the application, which you can open with.
Move the backup to another device and only then start deleting your Google account.
"Rough" account deletion
Important! Before performing the settings described below, we recommend that you create a backup copy of your data and upload it to your computer or cloud storage. This way, you will keep all your files and phonebook contacts.
It is the most effective way to completely delete an account for devices without superuser rights.
As a result of the reset, you will receive a completely new software shell for the phone with the version that was preinstalled at the time of purchase.
To start using the gadget, you must add or register - the data about the old account is not saved.
Follow the instructions:
1 Open the settings window and select the field "Restore and reset";
2 In the new window, click on "Reset";
3 Next, a window will open with a system message about what data will be deleted. Confirm the action by clicking on "Erase everything"... Then wait for the phone to reboot and add a new Google account during the activation process.
Method 3 - Forcibly stop the serviceGoogle Accounts
Google comes with a set of its web services and applications on all smartphones and tablets. This makes it easier and faster to set up your smartphone.
The Google Accounts service is responsible for managing user accounts.
With this service, you can install the latest security updates and easily manage connected accounts.
In the system settings, you can force stop the work of Google Accounts and delete all utility data.
So all linked accounts will be automatically erased from the gadget.
Follow the instructions:
- Open the settings;
- Select the "Applications" tab;
- Find the "Google Accounts" utility and select it;
- In the new window, alternately click on "Forced stop" and "Erase data".
If your smartphone does not have a separate Accounts application, select the Google Services utility and erase all of its data.
Error " You need to sign in to your Google account"Is a very common problem on Android devices. When it occurs, you fully realize how much you are accustomed to Google products to work with your smartphone, especially those that you download from Google Play. The good news is that getting things right is super easy, even for novice users. Let's see how to fix this Play Store error in three easy steps.
1. Just delete your Google account
The error can be a regular check that is sometimes triggered after a Google Play update. The first way is to enter the main menu of the device, go to "Settings", and then "Accounts" and simply delete google account that you registered is the one that receives the message "you need to sign in to your Google account." After that you can re-add the account and everything should work fine. However, you may have to take one more step below.
2. Erase Google Play Data
To erase Google Play Store application data, you need to go to "Settings" -> "Applications" and find "Play Store". Select this item, then find the "Erase data" function (click on it). You can try to just clear the cache first, but clearing the data will clear the cache too. If the previous method did not work for your smartphone, you can repeat the steps described there after clearing the Google Play data and get the desired result.
3. Uninstall Play Store updates
Sometimes the problem is not with the credentials, but with Google Play itself. More precisely, in the service software. One of the most effective ways to fix a bug on Google Play is to uninstall updates. Go to "Settings" -> "Applications" -> Play Store and click "Uninstall updates". This will allow you to revert to the original version of Google Play that was originally installed on your device. Then all you need to do next to fix the error is to install the latest version of Google Play and re-enter the market.
If after applying all three of the above methods you still have problems, try to do all the steps again, restarting your Android smartphone after each sequence of actions: "Delete Google account" -> reboot -> "Uninstall update, install new Google Play" - > reboot - "Add account" -> reboot, etc. Just keep trying until the error goes away.
