Removing an account from OneDrive for Android
Been trying to eliminate a OneDrive account w/o success. And I can't sign out of account in OneDrive as that option is grayed out. The other OneDrive account the Sign Out option is active. Here's the whole story:
On my Android device (Samsung Galaxy Note10+) I have two one drive accounts I've been using: one a school account and the other a personal account and have been doing so for a long time now without issue.
For some reason, another personal account I have with Microsoft now keeps showing up in OneDrive and, therefore, OneDrive won't allow me to sign in to the account I want to use.
I've tried deleting account in phone's settings but it keeps coming back. So, I've gone into Apps Settings and Forced Stop on OneDrive, Disabled, Cleared Cache and Data, deleted all OneDrive accounts but, after restarting OneDrive, the unwanted account pops back up again.
I have read many posts online on how to sign out from one drive account and sign on with another one drive account however I wasn't able to find any one that works until this morning.
This is what I did (For Samsung account users) step by step
Sign in to my samsung account online
Click on "Services"
Click on connected services (Linked services)
Un-link microsoft account.
Restart your phone
Open one drive app in your phone
click on "me" icon
Sign out will appear at the bottom
Sign out from your old account
sign in with your new account
Hope this help.
Remember to remove your old account from your microsoft office and update your new account.
- OMG this is the only thing that worked! Thank you SO, SO much!
