Problem is the same as https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1000745?esab=a&as=aaq

Also, there was no solution has been given in discussion. So, problem that noone could delete all data which have been synced with new Firefox account services. I've disconnected all my devices from previous (old) firefox sync system (which worked perfectly on several devices), after that i gone on link https://account.services.mozilla.com/ and deleted all my sensitive data. After I've created firefox account in new firefox sync system ( https://accounts.firefox.com ), and all my data (bookmarks exactly) now present in browser twice.

HI absolyte, You can clear all of the data by Deleting the account. When you set up the device you can uncheck bookmarks on the initial sync and on the desktop manage accounts option.

Hi guigs2, yes, i've already performed deletion and created my FF account in new firefox sync system. It's ok now, sync works perfectly at least on third my devices, without sync keys.

I have a problem with over 12,000 unwanted bookmarks in my 4 PCs (all standard Mozilla bookmarks that have been replicated). So if I would like to purge my server side data. If I do this by deleting my Sync account can I re-use my same email address to re-open a "new" Sync account?
