Step 1: Sign in to the account you want to delete
Before you can delete an account, you need to be signed in as an administrator or the account owner. If you are not already signed in, power on your Chromebook and log in with the account you wish to delete.

In the People section, find the account you want to delete and click on it. This will open a menu with options related to the account.
Step 5: Remove the account
In the account menu, click on the “Remove” option. A confirmation dialog will appear, asking you to confirm the deletion. Click “Remove” again to confirm and delete the account.
Step 6: Sign out of the account
After the account has been deleted, sign out of the account by clicking on the profile picture in the top-right corner of the screen and selecting “Sign out.”
Step 7: Restart your Chromebook
To ensure that all changes take effect, restart your Chromebook by holding down the power button until the device shuts down, then turn it back on.
