Remove a Saved Google Account from Chrome
I've always used two Google accounts in Chrome—one for personal stuff and another for work. Recently, I decided to switch to using a completely different web browser for my personal activities. To avoid any mix-ups, I needed to remove my personal Gmail account from Chrome. Here's how you can do the same:
Desktop (Windows, Mac, Chromebook)
- Open Chrome and click on your profile picture in the top-right corner.
- Click the Settings gear icon next to Other Profiles.
- Click the three vertical dots next to the account you want to get rid of.
- Select the Delete option to delete the Chrome profile.
- Confirm your decision by clicking Delete again.

The account and all browsing history, sign-in methods, bookmarks, and autofill data will be deleted from your Chrome web browser. Just to be clear, the account won't be deleted permanently. Instead, it will continue to exist on Google's servers, and you'll be able to use it, for example, when adding another email address to Gmail.
Mobile (Android and iOS)
- Open the Google Chrome browser on your mobile device.
- Tap the three horizontal dots in the bottom-right corner.
- Open the Settings menu.
- Tap on your current account (should be listed at the top).
- Scroll down and select the Manage accounts on this device… option.
- Select the single Gmail account you want to remove.
- Сhoose the Remove from This Device option.
- Confirm by tapping Remove.

As you can see, the steps to completely remove a Google account from Chrome on mobile devices are almost exactly the same as on desktop.
Remember, disabling auto-logins doesn't mean you can't use Google services. It just gives you more control over when and how you sign in. If you need to access your Google account, you can always manually sign in when necessary.
