Re: Google Account Remove
Vita Strait
First, make sure that both accounts are using a separate Dropbox folder. The Dropbox folder is normally installed to your user profile, so unless you did something to point both installs to a single folder, they're likely already separate. Just make sure first.
Once you're certain that they're using separate Dropbox folders, uninstall Dropbox from your alternate account and then delete the Dropbox folder (uninstall first, then delete, not the other way around). If you want a little peace of mind, rename the folder instead of deleting it, then make sure everything is Ok and still working in your main account. If all is well, delete the old Dropbox folder.
Thanks Rich. So just to make sure--You mean uninstall Dropbox by going into Windows Settings\Apps & Features, and uninstalling it there? That won't uninstall it from the whole computer, including my "real" account?
Dropbox is installed per user. If you want to be certain you can just unlink the unwanted installation instead of uninstalling if you want. Go to the link below and read the section titled Unlink your Windows computer from the desktop application.
The good news is, you can remove a Google Account from your phone remotely to keep that information secure. Below, we'll cover how to remove a Google Account from a phone whether you use Android or iOS, and whether you have that phone in front of you or not.
A Google Account syncs your data across Google applications like Docs, Calendar, Gmail, Drive, and more. A Gmail account is specific to the email platform, though the email address is often your Google Account login.
Removing a Google Account from your phone will sign you out of Google's apps like Gmail, Maps, and Calendar. You can still use some functionality as a signed-out user in some apps like Google Search and Maps.
Signing out on an Android phone limits you a bit more than an iPhone. This is because Google Play is the main app store for Android devices. Signing out of Google means you can't get new apps unless you use an alternative app store.
Removing your Google Account doesn't delete any Google apps from your phone. You can open Gmail and resume where you left off by signing in again. If you want to completely remove all Google data, you'll have to delete the apps, too.
If you have an older iOS version, you might also have an option in your phone settings called Passwords & Accounts. You can find your Gmail account listed there and click Delete Account.
New Google Accounts automatically come with a Gmail address. That's why using the Gmail app to remove your account is the simplest option. But if you originally signed up for an account with a different email address, you might not have a Gmail login.
In this case, you can go into other Google apps, tap your profile picture, and then click Manage accounts on this device. This works in Google Docs, Sheets, Calendar, Drive, and Photos.
While an Android mobile device depends on Google a bit more than an iOS device, you can still remove Gmail and all other account data. Here's a step-by-step guide for how to remove a Google Account from a phone with an Android system:
Depending on your system version, you might also be able to remove Google Account functionality from your phone settings. Navigate to Passwords and Accounts, select your Google Account, then tap Remove Account.
If you want to avoid syncing data with Google, but still keep Google Play, you can make a new Google Account with a different email address. Sign into Google Play with that new account, and use it to get apps for your phone going forward.

I recently left a job, but no one removed my Apple ID from the company's Developer Program account. So when I log into the Apple Developer website I see the company's profiles and certificates. I have no use for being associated with this team, and to avoid any confusion or mistakes I would simply like to disconnect my Apple ID from the company account.
I have Googled the issue; it looks like only the team admin can make this change, but as my former boss doesn't take these things very seriously (he's so far ignored my emails about this) I have doubts he will take any measures himself.
Good on you for wanting to be proactive and remove yourself from that team now that you've left! It will likely spare you a lot of trouble down the road. Besides, can you imagine the legal repercussions if your account were compromised and used to attack the organization after you've left, or if you were accused of industrial espionage?
My setup. I'm using the new Edge. I have a personal profile, a work profile, and a profile specifically for dynamics 365. This setup is identical (as far as I can tell) at home but the difference is on my d365 profile at work its continually asking me to use my work account or my d365 account while at home it knows I can only use the d365 account to log in.
Normally this isn't an issue, just choose the account you want and move on. However, in d365 its an issue. It seems as its trying to use my work account over my d365 account and therefore begins to continually prompt me to log in because my work account doesn't have the credentials to access d365. At home, where there is only one on the account choosing prompt, I do not get the issue of constant login prompts.
SO far I've uninstalled Edge via windows uninstaller and restarted. I've used revo uninstaller as well, with a reboot. I've cleared cookies and cache and I cannot get the duplicate account to stop popping up. I've removed the d365 account and re-added to no avail.
I think such work account belongs to an organization and can only be deleted in email & accounts. As you says email & accounts is not an option, you can sign out the profile as a workaround. When you sign out the profile, it will ask you to sign in like this. Then you can sign in with the account you want. Or you can try to remove the profile which having problem and made a new one to see if the issue still persists.
This is the one that worked for me but for me my email was in Settings(desktop settings, not browser settings)->Accounts->Email & Accounts, from there I followed from step #4 and my microsoft account no longer shows up in the Profile window's account selections. Thank you!
First sign in to , using the credential you wanna remove
Then click on your user in the upper left corner, and choose sign-out
After doing this you will see in the next page a button "FORGET THIS ACCOUNT"
I feel like your answer would be correct in almost every sense except in this case I cannot get it to work. I went so far as to delete all browsing data at close, from cookies to saved passwords, deleted all the web credentials. I'm at a loss. I appreciate your help though!
@Dubla89 this was my exact issue, thanks for sharing your workaround. Definitely frustrating that there isn't an official solution to what I'm sure is a fairly common issue, and especially frustrating that it would be so easy to avoid by logging out before your org removes access, but there's no way to know that until it's too late and you're already stuck in infinite authentication purgatory
I'm trying to add my new work account to my mobile Teams app and it keeps telling me to remove the one that is on there but it won't let me, just goes in a loop like another reader mentioned. Still unable to add new account or delete other accounts. This Teams app is the biggest piece of BS Microsoft has turned out.
Note: If you are having an account issue (e.g. missing posts, incorrect follower or following counts, suspicious Direct Messages or potential account compromise), deactivating and reactivating your account will not resolve it. Please refer to our troubleshooting articles or contact X Support.
Deactivating your X account is the first step to deleting your account permanently. Deactivation lasts 30 days. If you do not access your account within the 30-day deactivation period, your account is deleted and your username will no longer be associated with your account.
Deactivating your X account does not automatically cancel a X subscription. If you have any active paid subscriptions (e.g., X Premium, Super Follows) purchased through the X app, they will remain active. You can manage these subscriptions through the platform where you originally subscribed. Subscriptions purchased on X.com will automatically cancel after you deactivate your account.
If you authorized any third-party apps to access your account, you may be indirectly logging in from another app. Because logging into X automatically reactivates your account, make sure to revoke third-party app access to your X account.
If you lose access to your email address that is connected to your X account, you will need to contact your email service provider. Get help with access to your email address. Deactivation is an action that must be taken by the confirmed account holder or by request of a confirmed account holder. Unless you can contact us from the confirmed email address (or have access to the verified mobile number on the account), we cannot deactivate the account on your behalf. If you do have access to the verified mobile number on your account, then you can request a password reset.
Note: If you are using your Adobe app on Apple iOS (iPhone or iPad), you can delete your Adobe account directly from your iOS app. Tap on your profile icon (or open your app's settings), and then select Account > Delete Adobe account. Then follow the onscreen instructions. You may be prompted to visit the App Store to cancel your subscription when deleting your Adobe account.
You can use Find Devices on iCloud.com to remove a device from the Devices list and remove Activation Lock. When you remove Activation Lock, someone else can activate the device and connect it to their Apple ID.
