To delete or remove a Google account from your phone, follow these steps based on your device type:

For Android Phones

  1. Open Settings on your phone.
  2. Navigate to Accounts , Passwords & Accounts, Accounts & Backup, or a similar section depending on your phone model.
  3. Find and tap on the Google account you want to remove.
  4. Tap Remove account.
  5. Confirm the removal by tapping Remove account again.
  6. You may be asked to enter your device password or PIN to verify your identity.
  7. The Google account will be removed from your phone, and all data synced with that account (emails, contacts, calendar, etc.) will be deleted from the device.

This process removes the account only from the device; the Google account itself remains active and accessible from other devices or on the web

Alternative Method via Gmail App (Android)

  1. Open the Gmail app.
  2. Tap your profile icon at the top right.
  3. Select Manage accounts on this device.
  4. Choose the account to remove.
  5. Tap Remove account and confirm.

This method also removes the account from the device but not from Google itself

For iPhone

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Tap Accounts or Passwords & Accounts.
  3. Select the Google account you want to remove.
  4. Tap Remove Account and confirm.

This disconnects the Google account from your iPhone but does not delete the account itself

. Important Notes:

  • Removing the Google account from your phone deletes all associated data from the device, so back up important information beforehand.
  • Removing the account does not delete the Google account permanently; to delete the account entirely, you must do so via Google's account settings online
  • If the Google account is your primary account on the device, removing it may affect device functionality and access to Google services like Google Play

By following these steps, you can safely remove your Google account from your phone without deleting the account itself.
