Sky Go log in problems..

I used to have Sky Go on my laptop and it worked fine.

I'm no longer with Sky but recently got the use of Sky Go from a family member.

Removed the Sky Go app / Installer software etc and reinstalled the app etc but whatever I try I cannot remove the old account details.

Tried it behind a VPN - no joy.

I've had a look at Sky forums and it seems it is impossible to log out of Sky Go once logged in - ever!

Any suggestions on what I could try? Thanks

    Have you deleted the app data?

    For Windows 10:
    First, you’ll need to make sure you can view hidden files. To do this, open your ‘file explorer’, click the View tab then make sure there’s a tick next to Hidden Items, under the Show / hide option.
    •Click (C: ) Drive then go to User > [yourusername] > AppData > Roaming > then delete the 'Sky Go' folder
    •Open the Downloads folder, then delete all ‘SkyGoInstaller’
    files. Once you’re done, empty The Sky Go folder from your Recycle Bin.

    Not tried it but the forum seems to think it's the only way.
