How do I remove my Google Account from Edge?

Published in Account Removal 2 mins read

This guide explains how to remove your Google account from an Android device. The steps might vary slightly depending on your specific Android version and device manufacturer, but the general process remains the same. These steps will remove the account from the device entirely, not just from the Microsoft Edge browser.

Here's how to do it:

  1. Access All Apps: From your home screen, swipe up to see all the applications installed on your device.
  2. Open Settings: Locate and open the "Settings" application. The icon usually looks like a gear or cogwheel.
  3. Navigate to Accounts: Find the section related to accounts. This might be labeled as "Passwords & accounts," "Accounts," or "Users & accounts."
  4. Select Your Google Account: Tap on the specific Google account you want to remove. If you have multiple accounts, make sure you select the correct one.
  5. Remove Account: Look for an option to remove the account. This is usually labeled as "Remove account."
  6. Confirm Removal: You will likely be prompted to confirm your decision. Tap "Remove account" or a similar confirmation button to finalize the removal.

Here's a summary of the steps in a table:

Step Action Description
1 Open All Apps Swipe up from the home screen.
2 Open Settings Find the "Settings" app.
3 Navigate to Accounts Look for "Passwords & accounts" or similar.
4 Select Google Account Choose the account you want to remove.
5 Remove Account Tap the "Remove account" option.
6 Confirm Removal Confirm your decision to remove the account.

Important Considerations:

  • Removing your Google account will remove access to Google services (like Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Play) from that specific device.
  • This does not delete your Google account itself. You can still access your account from other devices or through a web browser.
  • Before removing the account, ensure you have backed up any important data associated with the account on that device, such as contacts or documents.
