I\u2019m on my third Android phone now, and appar\u00adently there is no way to delete the pre\u00advi\u00adous phone(s) from my Google Account. The Android Device Man\u00adager<\/a> sup\u00adport page tells you how to find the phone and wipe it, but I wiped them before passing them on to new homes. And I don\u2019t care about their cur\u00adrent loc\u00ada\u00adtions. You can hide a device from the list, but not delete it, and I\u2019m puzzled as to why. Do they need a list of all pre\u00advi\u00adous own\u00aders of any device? Why?<\/p>\n

And, the page to revoke access to Google accounts from these old devices still looks some\u00adthing like this:<\/p>\n

\"Google <\/p>\n

and does\u00adn\u2019t tell you which device or account is meant by \u2018Android Login Ser\u00advice \u2014 Full Account Access\u2019. I guess I could turn off each one in turn and see which I need to turn back on, but it should be pos\u00adsible for Google to put some identi\u00adfy\u00ading inform\u00ada\u00adtion there to help with the pro\u00adcess, even if it\u2019s only the date on which access was requested. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
