"Another user has already enabled offline access on this computer"

Hey all,

This is a quick technical query. I've noticed for a long time that most of the documents I create offline disappear upon reconnecting.

I noticed today that under Google Drive settings it says "Another user [shared email account I've not had access to for years] has already enabled offline access on this computer."

Is there any way I can revoke that? I've not had access to that account in an age. I tried uninstalling the Google Docs Offline extension and reinstalling it but that statement in the settings remains. I've looked as thoroughly as I can but I can't revoke that access.

Any tips, anyone? Thanks

You should be able to remove the user from the startup screen. If that doesn't work, it's annoying, but of course you can do a powerwash and start over
