Completely remove current Google account and start using another, without reset

This has been posted elsewhere, but its hard to find, especially on the backflip since its darn near impossible. Seeing as we are on a backflip forum, it should be readily available. As the title states, if you are like me and signed up using your shared gmail email account for your google account, and want to transfer to another so wifey doesnt get mad you read an email and didnt tell her, here it is:

Goto settings > applications > manage applications and look for the following apps; "gmail", "gmail storage", and "google apps"

within each of those 3 apps, you need to go in, and choose 'clear data'

after you do that, reboot your phone (read: take battery out after its been power off'd) and when it comes back, goto your gmail app and itl ask you to enter username and password.

ANY app you downloaded from market remains on phone, BUT you might lose updates to paid ones since the market will clear out...sooooo have fun and please report your findings about the paid apps for future backflip owners who reset google account on phone.
