Help Urgent!! Removing My Email Address From Tablet

[moggie 939]

Hi - URGENT PLEASE

I gave brother in law my old Asus Tablet a few months ago and now he tells me he has started receiving my gmail emails on it!

Don't know how to remove this account JUST on the tablet and not my own laptop without asking him to reset to factory settings!!

Change your password- job done.

Assuming it's Android, go to Settings / Google,
tap the account
tap the menu icon
tap remove account.
That will remove it from the tablet.

Hello kjn2

Have changed my password for my gmail acct as you said and the new one shows on my laptop - so if any more slip thru to the tablet will they not appear?

The chair - hello. have told the b-in-law how to clear the acct as you said and hope he can understand it!

Funny thing is that he has neverd ane I gave him the Tablet 3 months ago - only one from ebay last night showing a purchase I had made!!

I wonder if any updates to my laptop (loads were done automatically yesterday) could have caused this problem?

Should I restore my laptop back a couple of days or will that not help?

Thanks

Hi. Would not have thought the update would change that. Now that you have changed your password on the laptop they will not appear on the old tablet as the password is incorrect. No restore required, all should be fine now, good advice from TheChair too.

Thanks for all your help both of you. I sent myself an email as a test and my b-in-law said it did not appear!
