Hi Jonathan
Bloody hell! (smile). What a long way round for a shortcut!
I created a Gmail account on my PC and of course put the details into my
Nexus 7 when it was new. Then I thought I had deleted it after creating a
new one last year when I got married, following the instructions list
members have provided for getting rid of unwanted accounts. But the old one
still sits on my Nexus with the new one, and I just wish I could get rid of
it because it brings up an error message to the effect I can't log in.
Really, I only use Gmail on my Nexus, otherwise I wouldn't bother having an
account at all. I had thought of performing a factory reset etc, but then
wondered if it would come back automatically because it somehow synchronises
from Gmail on the PC.
Is any of this making sense? I am just about keeping up myself!! (lol).
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

Ah, now I understand even more!
So you created an email account, used that to first login to the
Nexus, then stopped using the first account, and then logged in via a
second account on the Nexus?
If that's correct and you want the first account gone completely, then
the only way to do this is a full factory reset. Just make sure
everything is backed up and synced first!
There is a way that allows you to do this without a factory reset, but
it requires proper hardcore hacking, gaining root access etc.
