Removing an account from OneDrive for Android
Hi All, I'm expecting that this should be relatively straightforward but unfortunately my google-fu hasn't located an answer and I don't have an Android device. End users OneDrive for Android...
I had the same problem removing an account from OneDrive -- here's what worked for me:
- Open the new Office app (I had installed it a while back and removed the old Word, Excel, PowerPoint apps)
- Tap your profile icon (top-left corner)
- Tap "Settings" (under "More")
- The problem OneDrive account shows with a warning triangle and a red X on the right
- Tap the red X to remove the service
- Open the OneDrive app
- Tap "Me" bottom right corner
- Tap "Settings"
- Tap the account name that you want to remove
- Tap "SIGN OUT" (top right corner) and confirm
- The account is now removed from OneDrive
- Celebrate!
That's what worked for me after much faffing around -- I hope it works for you all too!
And I'll take this opportunity to mention a site that I run: the 365 Training Portal -- it's an attempt at organizing the many Microsoft 365 resources that are out there -- I got tired of trying to use bookmarks/favorites. Maybe you'll find it useful too?
Good luck with the OneDrive thing -- let us know if it worked for you!

Well, I'm sorry to report that the "removed account" came back -- so back to the old drawing board it is!
unfortunately, tried it as well but didn't work. Let's see who comes up with a solution first.
Thanks anyway.
- MS seems to have a "you can't get rid of that" approach at the moment, same problem on my Samsung phone. Tried all sorts and can't even uninstall OneDrive to fix.
