Hello
My brother created a couple of gmail accounts when he visited;I thought they could easily be removed from my computer yet enable him to use his accounts at home.
I have Googled this to death and asked the Gmail forum to no avail.
When I click on Gmail to begin, I usually see his address not mine. It does not matter whether it is a bookmark or web based. I have to remove it and enter mine then sign in.
Doing this several times a day, unnecessarily, is an aggravation.
Google used to have a "manage your accounts" where you could produce his and remove but the company changes procedures so most of the web advice is not current/useful. Do you know how I can accomplish my goal?
TY

Usually, all one has to do is sign out of Chrome. Once signed out then you can input the other user....it's how I've always done it.
 
Edge and Chrome interchangeably and both react the same way.
I've got to get further into the cache etc. of the browsers. it is stored somewhere.

I cleared autofill on Chrome and I only see my account now. Honestly it was suggested by the Gmail forum. I guess they know their onw product.
I should have told you about the browser in my first post.
TY

In Edge...
Click the row of 3 dots ( top right corner)
Click Settings >> under Clear Browsing Data click Choose what to clear.
You can then select from the list what you want to remove and then click on Clear.

Thank you for the comprehensive reply. I finally did get rid of my brother accounts. I cleared everything out as instructed, especially under Chrome..
I notice under your "clear" it says always clear this when I close the browser and it is off. I do not have that on mine.
Mine says clear and under that, even expanded, it talks about Bing.
Maybe we have different Win10 versions or different ver. of Edge.
As an afterthought, My computer seems to work much better with Edge than Chrome. Chrome flickers a lot. I used it b/c the vice search is much clearer and more thorough than Cortana's search.
 
Hi peterr,

Yes, sorry about that.
I have 2 versions of Win10...... one is the normal Win10 home ..... the other is the Win10 insider version.
Because the insiders get the updates/options/enhancements before they are sent out via normal win updates, my insider version will be what you can expect to get soon through the win updates.
I forgot that when I posted the screenshot.
My normal Win10 home, is the same as yours.

Glad you got the problem sorted. :)
