Important Considerations
- Local Data: Removing your account from Chrome does not delete your browsing history, saved passwords, or bookmarks from your computer. This data remains locally stored on your device.
- Multiple Accounts: If you have multiple Google accounts signed into Chrome, you'll need to repeat these steps for each account you want to remove.
- Google Account Deletion: This process only removes the account from Chrome. To completely delete your Google account, you need to take separate steps via the Google Account settings online.
- Sync: When you turn off sync, your browsing data is not synced to your Google account anymore.
By following these steps, you will successfully remove a Google account from your Chrome browser, keeping your local data safe.
