I seem to have gotten a saved account that can’t be switched to and therefore can’t be removed.

My instance had some server side issues and on PC I had to delete my cookies to get the desktop site to work. Connect wouldn’t work and I had to add the account again. At some point the account name has changed to my email address @feddit.uk, which looks weird since it has two @ symbols. The newly added account works fine, but there’s this stuck second version of it.

When I try to switch to the broken version I get an error pop up that just says “Error: unable to switch to ‘me@email.domain@feddit.uk’” and it seems to retain the currently selected account.

Since I can’t switch to that account, I can’t sign out to have Connect forget it. So I don’t see a way to get rid of it.

Has anyone else run into the same problem? Any suggestions?

Connect instance switching will be buggy sometimes, especially when there is a Lemmy update that modifies auth tokens in some way.

The only way I know how to resolve account list bugs like that is to purge your app cache and app data. It’s not ideal, but it has worked for me in the past.
