    1. Go to Settings on your android device.
    2. Tap on "Accounts" or "Users & Accounts" depending on your device. (If you enrolled with Android Enterprise work profile, you can go to Settings-> Work profile->Accounts)
    3. Tap on the work account you want to remove.
    4. Tap on "Remove Account" or "Delete Account", depending on your device.
    5. Confirm the removal of the account when prompted.

    Hope the above information can help.
