How to delete non-gmail email accounts?
« on: August 12, 2012, 05:28:20 PM »
I started to set up my work email (exchange) , but the Nexus is forcing me to "Activate device administrator", which grants access to the admins at work to "Erase all data", "Lock the screen" and "Disable cameras' among other things.  So I cancelled the set up process.  If they insist I have 24\7 access they can provide me the device on which to do it. 

Any way, for the last week, I've been constantly notified that "Security update requires" for my work email.  I can not find the account anywhere, so I can't delete the partial set up.

Anyone have the answer?

Thanks

The ultimate removal option, is a factory reset.

I found a solution short of factory reset.  I had to grant the invasive privileges to complete the set up, then there was an option to delete the account once set up was complete.
