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).

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. On 25 April 2014 15:43, Jackie Brown <thebrownsplace@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Thanks Jonathan, I'll read this and see what happens.
