Removing a GMAIL account from a G2 Touch

Hi people

I am returning my G2 Touch/HTC Hero as it is really slooooooow:mad:. I am in the process of removing my personal details but cannot figure out how to remove the Gmail account i set up at start up. Any ideas?

    Couple of suggestions until you get a full answer...

    Check the manual for how to do a system reset. Usually there is a tiny hole you can poke something in and hold.

    Failing that

    Can you just edit it and overtype your setup with garbage

    ====

    A quick search shows this as the reset mechanism...

    According to the official helpdesk of HTC (for me in France), you had to:

    1/ Switch off the phone (either removing the battery or shutting down by holding the "end call" button for few seconds
    2/ While being switched off, hold the "home" (house) and "back" (the arrow in the lower right corner)
    3/ Hit briefly the "end call" button" while still holding the "home" and "back" buttons.
    4/ Release the "home" and "back" button, a white screen containing technical information should appear, with a red message asking for hitting the "menu" button.
    5/ Hit the "menu button", the Hero will now boot with factory settings.

    Or the easy way - settings, security, scroll down to factory reset. I am pretty sure it is the same on my hero as your g2 touch as they are the same phone.
    Try to imagine nothing ever existed...
