Remove accounts from your Galaxy phone

Clear out all the old baggage. You can remove an account from your Galaxy phone if you are no longer using it, or if you do not 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: Information provided applies to devices sold in Canada. Available screens and settings may vary for smartphones sold in other countries.
