How to remove accounts from your Galaxy phone or tablet
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.
Remove a Samsung account
Removing a Samsung account is different than permanently deleting your account. Removing a Samsung account is temporary; you can always add it back later.
