A friend of mine set up my Samsung a20 for x- mas for me I have done a soft and a hard reset but that still does not get rid of the first email address that was first entered in it when it was new

Hello Steve, you should be able to remove the gmail account, or any other email account for that matter.

To remove a Google account, try:
  • From Settings, swipe to and tap Accounts and backup.
  • Tap Accounts, and then select your Google account.
  • Tap Remove account, and then tap Remove account again to confirm.


To remove an email, its essentially the same process:
  • From Settings, swipe to and tap Accounts and backup.
  • Tap Accounts, and then select your email account.
  • Tap Remove account, and then tap Remove account again to confirm.


Let me know how you get on!
