🔐 How to Remove a Google Account from the “Choose an Account” Sign-In Screen

If you’ve ever tried signing into a Google service and noticed old or unwanted accounts still appearing on the “Choose an account” screen, you’re not alone. Whether it’s a personal email you no longer use, an old work account, or a friend’s account that was used on your device, cleaning up this list can help keep your login experience simple and secure.

✨ Why Remove Old Accounts?

• Avoid accidentally signing into the wrong account
• Improve security on shared or public computers
• Reduce confusion across Gmail, Drive, YouTube, and other Google services

💻 How to Remove an Account on a Desktop Browser

🔹 Step 1: Sign Out of All Accounts

1. Visit https://accounts.google.com/Logout
2. This will log you out of all Google accounts.

Tip: Don’t worry — you can sign back into the ones you still use right after.

🔹 Step 2: Go to the Sign-In Page

Navigate to https://accounts.google.com. You’ll see a list of previously used accounts.

🔹 Step 3: Click “Remove an account”

1. At the bottom of the sign-in page, click “Remove an account” or look for the Manage accounts option.
2. You’ll now see a list with an “X” or trash icon next to each email.
3. Click the X next to the account you want to remove (e.g., djrenlive@gmail.com)
4. Confirm the removal.

That’s it! That account will no longer show on the sign-in screen unless you sign into it again.

🧹 Bonus: Clear Cookies (If the Account Won’t Disappear)

In Google Chrome:

1. Click the 3-dot menu (top-right) → Settings
2. Go to Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
3. Click See all site data and permissions
4. Search for accounts.google.com and Clear data

Then reload the sign-in page. The account should now be gone.
