How can I remove an Online Account?
Is it possible to remove accounts shown in the screen below?
Solution 1:
Open a terminal and check which account plugin packages are installed :
dpkg --get-selections | grep account-plugin
- When you want to remove the Unity Flickr account plugin execute :
sudo apt purge account-plugin-flickr libaccount-plugin-flickr
- When you want to remove the Unity Google account plugin execute :
sudo apt purge account-plugin-google libaccount-plugin-google
Update addressing the requested information in the comment below
In earlier editions of Ubuntu (14.04/16.04) the libaccount-plugin
packages don't exist, so
to remove the Flickr account plugin execute :
sudo apt purge account-plugin-flickr
to remove the Google account plugin execute :
sudo apt purge account-plugin-google
Solution 2:
If you are using the Gnome DE and don't use Online accounts at all you can remove the package itself with sudo apt-get remove gnome-online-accounts
if you want to remove the entire package along with any configuration data you can use the command sudo apt-get purge gnome-online-accounts
