Can't remove Google account anymore [released]
Hello!
I added a Google Apps account I used to have to my Jolla, and all was good. But I've cancelled it, and didn't remove it from the phone beforehand. Now I get a notification every 5 minutes that an account action is required (and signin failed) but there's only the option to change the password, not to remove the whole account!
Please help, the phone is driving me crazy - and I'm sure battery life is suffering from this.
Thanks for any help!
At the accounts list page, if you long-press on the Google account, is there a "delete" option in the context menu which pops up?

$ devel-su -p pkcon install libaccounts-glib-tools $ ag-tool list-accounts
and see if the Google account is there. If it is, you can use
ag-tool delete-account <accountId>
to delete it. If it is not, then the account has already been removed from SailfishOS.You could also try:
$ devel-su -p rm -rf /home/nemo/.cache/msyncd/sync/
and then rebooting the phone, as that will remove any erroneous sync schedules for previously removed accounts.
Of course, this will only help SailfishOS accounts, not Android integration accounts.
Cheers, Chris.
