Question 1

How do I remove my iCloud, Google, or Samsung account?

Accepted Answer

Be sure to sign out of your iCloud, Google, or Samsung account before factory resetting your device. A factory reset alone will not wipe off these accounts. To be sure your accounts are removed after a factory reset go through the device set up until you get to the home screen. If you arrive at a screen that says “Activation Locked” or asks for your Google or Samsung account login information then you have not removed these accounts from your device.

||| Please be sure that you are logged out of your accounts – not logging out of your accounts could cause a delay in payment. We do not offer a cash value for any device that has accounts that are still active.
