How can I get a Google Account off of my computer? I have searched and followed instructions numerous times
and once I go to where there are suppose to be more options under data and privacy and where the option to delete is supposedly located, it is not there. Spent a great deal of time on this and need it gone. Please help if you can. Thanks in advance.

Delete any email (gmail) and delete all history from Chrome if you used that browser. 🍀

(16,992 posts)I have tried to get rid of her information for the account and set up a meeting but Goggle goes to her account and uses her information and not mine. I have tried using my account and tried deleting hers and honestly have spent hours trying to delete it but nothing is working. Just went to settings and deleted it but it circles right back to that account.

(4,024 posts)This: " more options under data and privacy and where the option to delete" is not where you need to fix this. That would destroy the google account, like, erase it from the internet period. Not just from your PC. I imagine your daughter would be quite perturbed if you did that.
Based on the addt'l details you provided in downthread, what you want to do is delete a *Chrome* profile. To do this, click your profile icon on the upper right of Chrome, it's just to the left of the vertical dot-dot-dot icon (where all the chrome settings are). For me it's just a grey letter 'J'. Click that, choose Manage Chrome Profiles. You should see some tiles, one will be your account, and one will be hers. Click the dot-dot-dot on her profile and choose 'Delete'. And you're done
