My Default Account was my work account. I am now retired, so that account has already been disabled by my former employer, but when I sign in to Google, it appears as my 1st choice.

In all of the things I've read, you must be signed in to the account in order to change signing in preference. How can I do this when it is already deactivated & I no longer have access?

What a default account is

In many cases, your default account is the one you signed in with first. On mobile devices, your default account can vary depending on your device's operating system and the apps you use.
