Remove accounts from your Galaxy phone or tablet (1)

Clear out all the old baggage. You can remove an account from your Galaxy phone or tablet if you're no longer using it, or if you don't want it associated with your device anymore. Just remember: after it has been removed, you will not have access to any of the account's data unless you add the account back again.

Note: Available screens and settings may vary by wireless service provider and software version.

Remove a Samsung account

Removing a Samsung account is different than permanently deleting your account. When you remove a Samsung account it's temporary; you can always add it back later.

  1. FromSettings, swipe to and tapAccounts and backup.

  2. Tap Manage accounts, and then select your Samsung account.

  3. TapRemove account, and then tapRemove accounton the popup.

  4. TapSign out.Enter your Samsung account password, and then tap OK.

  5. Note: These steps only remove the Samsung account from the device. The device will still need to be unregistered from the account to completely remove it.

  2. Tap Manage accounts, and then select your Google account.

  3. TapRemove account, and then tapRemove accountagain to confirm.

  4. If you have Google device protection features enabled, you may be asked to verify your identity before you can fully log out of your account.

  2. Tap Manage accounts, and then select your email account.

  3. TapRemove account, and then tapRemove accountagain to confirm.
