How can I remove Google account from Thunderbird?
I have two Google (yes, Google, not gmail) accounts. When setting up my gmail in Thunderbird, I was prompted to enter the Google account. I have entered the wrong one. Consequently, I cannot access my gmail: "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password."
I have tried all ways I have found in this forum to get rid of it again, such as editing the prefs file, but to no avail.
How can I remove the Google account from the Thunderbird settings to be able to insert the new one?
Thanks for your help in advance, Matt

Have a look in the password manager that there are no saved passwords. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/password-manager-remember-delete-change-tb

Would you please click to account settings and do a screenshot of the google account? That may prove helpful. thank you.
Hi David,
the account does not appear , so I cannot access any settings. Some data relating to the Google account must be hidden somewhere.
In case it plays a role, my Google account itself says that it is "not connected to any third-party apps or services".

Thank you Moderator, it has solved my issue. Have a good day!
Same issue, but there are no Google passwords in my thunderbird password manager or Google accounts in my Account Settings. Also removed the google.com entry from logins.json, but it still pops up to authenticate when I open tbird.
...also quit thunderbird, removed ~/.cache/thunderbird, and started thunderbird again, but still it prompts to log into the google account.
