Steps to Remove a Google Account from an Android Device
Follow these instructions carefully on your Android device:
- Open your device's Settings app. You can usually find this app icon on your home screen or in your app drawer.
- Tap Passwords and accounts. This option might also be labeled "Users & accounts" or simply "Accounts" on some devices.
- Under 'Accounts', tap the account that you want to remove. You will see a list of accounts signed in on your device.
- To confirm, tap Remove account. Your device may ask you to confirm your choice, and potentially enter your device's password or PIN for security.
Completing these steps will remove the Google Account from your Android device. This means you will no longer be signed into Google services (like Gmail, Drive, YouTube) on that device using that account. Remember, this action does not delete your Google Account permanently; it simply removes it from the device you are using.
