How to remove a Google account from “Choose an account” page list

google-sign-in-remove-button-missing

Here’s a quick tip on something very simple that I could not figure out for the longest time. One of those bugs that was somehow thought to be a feature at some point in the development process over at Google. Too busy not doing evil, I guess…

The graphic above is very straightforward and familiar to anyone who uses more than one Google account.  Easy to add or remove accounts, right? The tricky part is that if you are logged into any of these accounts then you will not see the “remove” button. Instead, it will look like this (with just “add an account”):

add account - no remove

Add and Login to Remove?

In other words, to remove an account you have to log out of a different account but it doesn’t tell you which account you are logged into. And to find this page in the first place you have to “Add account” from the top right menu – so you have to add an account and then log out of an account in order to remove an account.

There are many ways to end up on this page I suspect – jumping between Google services such as Adwords or Google Analytics, for example. These are some of the URLs that will bring up the “Choose an account” list:

How to log out? visit accounts.google.com/logout and Google will log you out — then the remove button will be visible.

Some of the keywords I tried to find an answer online:

  • How to remove a Google account from your list of accounts on the “Choose an account” page?
  • How to remove sessions from Google accounts?
  • Google account +remove button missing

More links:

If you have never seen this interface it might be helpful at this point to know that once you can see the “remove” button then it’s very simple: click the “remove” button and ‘x’ any accounts that you want to remove from the list. This will not delete accounts of course, just remove them from the saved list. See the “Choose an account” picture at top.

 

Update 10/2014: Thanks for the overwhelmingly positive feedback on this post — seems like it’s been helpful to many people.

Update 11/2015:  It’s super simple to set the default Google account. You just have to log out of all the accounts and then first one you log in, is the one which will be the default, and then the next account you log in to will be the secondary account(s).
Details: osxdaily.com

Update 1/2022: you may get a ‘syncing is paused’ notice when you sign out. if you use the Chrome Browser then you can log into yoru main google account (if you have a main account) in the browser itself and that will default the user that appears in the list. You can actually sign into mulitple accounts in the browser and use that to control what account appears in the list of accounts. 

This list is also called the “Account Chooser” and it can break the AutoFill or AutoComplete of some web browsers.

  8. Posted July 3, 2014 at 8:15 am | Permalink

    Thank you so much for this, it was driving me crazy. I noticed over 3 months have passed since you wrote this, so it looks like Google is not planning to fix it.

  9. Posted July 20, 2014 at 9:36 am | Permalink

    Thnx… i lost hours of my time trying to find HOW TO DO THIS.

    Wow. I did it, thanks to you! I still don’t understand, but at least I got rid of what I wanted gone! Thanks.

    Above is my first email address that automatically sends received messages to my Prime
    Email which is {removed}
    I can’t get into above rvtravel address to read my received emails as an old email keeps coming
    up as my premier email.
    I have had this problem occur quite often and sometimes I fix it myself but not this time.

  16. Posted October 3, 2014 at 12:13 am | Permalink

    We were able to do this, but when we go back into the browser the account reappears. No matter how many times we remove the account it always shows up. Anyone have a solution for that? Thanks!

  17. Posted October 9, 2014 at 1:06 pm | Permalink

    Eureka! I take it that clicking the button gives you the option of which account to delete? Or does it automatically delete all accounts on the list?

    • Posted November 6, 2014 at 1:07 am | Permalink

      yes, it gives you the option of which to remove….

    Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for.

  22. Posted November 27, 2014 at 5:24 pm | Permalink

    This post was very helpful. Now, does anyone know how to choose which email address to use as the default when logging in? I have 3 accounts in the dropdown list when I start typing to enter the email address to sign in and there is always one address already in the form box when I start typing.

    It used to work perfectly, it used to always save the email address I log into the most as the default address for login, but now that most used one is third on the list and I have to select it instead of it just being pre-filled in the form field.

    Anyone know how to select one account address to be the default?

  23. Posted December 12, 2014 at 8:35 am | Permalink

    I deleted my Gmail account
    But it is still in my list of choosing account

  28. Posted January 24, 2015 at 1:58 pm | Permalink

    The “remove” button does NOT remove the accounts listed on the page on this computer. (And we really are going crazy!) It is a “shared” computer on our Ref Desk so different folks want to log in.

  29. Posted January 24, 2015 at 2:01 pm | Permalink

    Oh, and also we cannot log in to our gmail accounts from there now either! Sad! 🙁

  33. Posted March 22, 2015 at 11:33 am | Permalink

    I am having this same problem, multiple accounts showing up in the list when I login. But there is no Remove button. There is also no Add Account button. Just a Create an Account button, which does just that (takes you to a create a new account page). Do I have a different version of Gmail or what? How do I get to the Remove button?

  34. Posted March 30, 2015 at 8:26 pm | Permalink

    Thanks Ari. I followed your instructions and deleted a linked account but it hasn’t solved the bigger problem that began the moment I first linked two gmail accounts. Maybe you have some insight on this. I decided to link them because I was tired of having to log in and out of two different accounts and Google seemed to promise an easy solution. HOWEVER, the secondary account was the one connected to my blog, my YouTube, and my Picasa accounts, and the moment I linked the secondary gmail address to the primary one I lost access to these through the simple login process. Now, when I click on the secondary address, it shunts me onto the primary account where Google has thoughtfully set up brand new YouTube, Picasa and Blogger accounts for me with none of my previous content and no way to get to it. The only way I’ve been able to get to my original YouTube, Blogger, or Picasa is to go through Google’s recovery sequence and do a password reset. Thankfully I can at least do that. But as soon as I log out, access is lost again. Google is absolutely silent on this problem and I know there are thousands of us in the same boat. I’m ready to just ditch Google and all of its products even if it means losing thousands of photos in Picasa albums, and hundreds of YouTube videos. Nobody seems able to address this problem, least of all “Liz” from Google, who only chimes in when she wants to. Do you have any idea how to solve this problem? Thanks!

  35. Posted April 1, 2015 at 1:33 pm | Permalink

    I have two computers with both configured the same, e.g., Windows 7 with both Firefox and Chrome browsers. On one when I access my Google Accounts, all accounts I had created are still displayed for me to “choose an account.” This is great!

    On the other computer, there is no repetition of my accounts and I must entere them again. Not so great!

    What do I need to do to have my created accounts continue to appear from session-to-session when I sign in?

    Thanks

  36. Posted April 4, 2015 at 7:30 am | Permalink

    Thanks… it seems like more & more often Google breaks things when they try to “add a feature / make things better”. 🙁

    Better is the enemy of good enough.
    If it ain’t broken beware of fixing it.

    Where’s the “Send $’s for a helpful answer” button? 🙂

    thanks again for the solution

    Hi google This emai account is invalid for me and I signed out once but also is choose and account.

  40. Posted May 5, 2015 at 6:58 pm | Permalink

    I found this on the internet, and it works.

    When you go to the sign in page,
    1. select (but do not open) the account you wish to delete.
    2. hit the Down arrow. This brings up the account name below in the password space
    3. hold down the Shift Key and hit Delete. This removes the lower username.
    4. highlight the original name again
    5. hold down the Shift Key and hit the Delete Key again. That removes the offending name!

    Unfortunately, this won’t work for me. I have several old accounts listed every time I go to access my Gmail, but these accounts themselves have actually been cancelled. The remove button is visible, but when I choose one of these old accounts, it is no longer visible. Any ideas?

    • Posted June 3, 2015 at 9:46 pm | Permalink

      Follow the instructions I posted on May 5, 2015. They should work.

    I had two accounts, one for work, one personal.
    Left work, but the work account was still there, marked as default, and I could not remove it, because the “remove” button was not present.

    The solution: I had to create a third account, log into that 3rd account, log out, go back to the sign-in page and … voila! Now I had access to the “remove” button, and I could remove the old work account.

    • Posted June 13, 2016 at 3:43 pm | Permalink

      Nice simple efficient correct answer!!

    • Posted August 18, 2016 at 2:51 pm | Permalink

    You just type https://accounts.google.com/logout into the address bar and it will log you out and the remove button will be visible.

  55. Posted November 6, 2015 at 11:51 am | Permalink

    OMG. You’ve made my day, my week and maybe even my year! At some point my son logged in using his school Google account on one of my laptops (or I did it trying to access something school-related). Ever since, *his* login was the default on my devices and I couldn’t figure out how to remove it. I had even posted to a Google forum about this with no success. Then today I decided to try again to resolve this and I found your article. It worked!!! My son has been banished from my login page! Thanks so much!

  56. Posted November 26, 2015 at 3:20 pm | Permalink

    Helpful, thank you.

    I am still not sure if removing this will actually separate out all those accounts.

    I created a new gmail account for a group project I’m involved in. Although the password is obviously different, it seems that when I gave access to my colleagues to the new account, they also had access to private emails which were in the other account!

  57. Posted December 10, 2015 at 7:09 am | Permalink

    WOW! Thank you so much Gergely. So simple, and it works! In one short sentence, you provided the perfect, easy solution I’ve been looking for. Thanks again and good wishes!

  58. Posted December 10, 2015 at 8:44 am | Permalink

    Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. I could write that all day and it still wouldn’t be enough. (Have I said “Thank you?”)

  59. Posted December 14, 2015 at 5:40 am | Permalink

    Thanks. It worked.

  60. Posted January 8, 2016 at 9:36 am | Permalink

    Inane software prompts… “Remove” is a verb, but the “Remove” button doesn’t remove anything. It just allows you to “Select Accounts to Remove From This Screen”, after which you must select “Done” (not a verb, by the way) to take the action. Have any of these software programmers taken a basic English class?

    BUT kudos to Ari for posting this blog for all of us who can’t figure out how to “speak Google”. Much appreciated!

    you are a life saver. I spent hours on google forums and blogs, but of no use, until I bumped into your website – that, for some reason, doesn’t come up high in terms of relevancy. I think it’s intentional.

    It’s not a bug (why would you think that it is?) Google inteltionally does this in attempts to keep accounts merged.

    I definitely think that Google philosophy is: if a workaround exist, why develop a new code?

    Thank you so much! Several of my students had to use my laptop for presentations last semester due to the lack of appropriate hardware to connect their computers to our projector. I had almost a dozen different sign-ins saved in that list and it was driving me nuts! Thank you!!

    The easiest solution is to use Samsung Email app. Next to every email address in the drop down
    list is an x. To remove the address, click on the x. This removes that address from Samsung
    Email app but not from Gmail. I am disappointed that Gmail has not provided such a simple
    solution. However, I am not surprised because Gmail is not user friendly. Furthermore, the
    ‘Gmail methods’ would not remove all of the bad email addresses. Some addresses I could only
    remove in the Samsung Email app. I thought the option ‘Gmail/Setting/Create contacts for
    autocomplete/I’ll add contacts myself’ would let me start from scratch, but it does not. And,
    what is the purpose of ‘Other Contacts’. Also, with the ‘g Gmail methods’, you will have to fix
    every Gmail account.
    This problem has existed for years. Gmail could fix this problem. The simple solution is: for
    deletion put an x next to every item in the autocomplete list. For addition put a checkbox next
    to every email address in the Contact list.

    Yes, by following the steps below, you may quickly erase your Google Account from the Chrome browser:

    On your computer, launch the Chrome browser.
    In the upper-right corner of your profile card, click the options menu.
    Select “Remove This Person” from the drop-down menu.

    This is s very helpful article and unlike Google community , the thread is not locked for further comments. I a always have same problems. I could be in Google drive and switch to email and then it changes to a different account then I go to photos and then it goes to a third account.. i hate how every move you make affects every google product. A workaround forv gmail is to use the browser version if you just want to go in and out of an account real fast. I am testing your process now.

    Can´t believe Google has not made a simple fix for this 8 years since this article.

    This is why people stop using products from a company.

    This did NOT work for me on my iphone. I’ve tried everything.
    When I try to log into the Nest on my iphone, it gives me the “Choose an Account” box then lists a ton of gmail addresses I no longer use. I tried the steps above, but none of those old email addresses show up in accounts.google.com. I tried deleting all apps and erasing google entirely from my iphone, didn’t work. HELP?!?

    This no longer works. The option to remove an account is not shown on the screen as per your guide. Please either update this article or delete it to avoid confusing people.
