Thunderbird repeatedly asking login to deleted gmail account

After deleting/removing a gmail account Thunderbird gets stuck in a loop constantly requesting that I login into that non-existing account.

The only solution I found was from over 2 years ago suggesting that we manually find and remove some random files, which also caused me to have to re-login into all of the existing accounts.

I feel like adding and removing accounts is a basic functionality for email apps. How has this not been fixed in over 2 years??

And why does it even remember removed accounts? If I remove it from the list of accounts I expect Thunderbird to delete all mentions of it from my system.

Edit:

Thunderbird somehow still remembers that deleted account and wont stop interrupting me.

Tried complete reinstall.

Thunderbird continues relentlessly popping up demands that I login into the deleted gmail account.

Reinstall again, this time hunt down any Thunderbird related file and apparently there are a ton of files that it fails to delete during uninstall.

Re-login into everything for the third time, hopefully now it wont start happening again.

As soon as I get time I'm looking for something less broken.

Idk how anyone can put up with this.

Helpful?
