how to change or remove default gmail account on android ?

For some reason do you want to delete or change primary gmail account in your android mobile phone? Android Phones are strongly binded with Gmail to enable services like google android market place, email, calendar, contacts, chat and other services but many don't know that we cannot change the primary gmail account once set the only way to remove is factory reset.

recently i wanted to remove a default gmail account in our office android device since we do not want to hard reset and remove all the installed apps and after a lot of R&D we came across a method in one of the forums which says going to Settings-->Applications-->Manage Applications and clear data in below apps will remove the default account

1. Gmail
2. Gmail Storage
3. Google Apps
4. Google Talk
5. Google Talk Services
6. IM

But we cleared all the data as said in above applications, but unfortunately it did not worked out for us... still we were not able to clear the primary gmail account in android device.

Finally bottom line we came to know the factory reset is the only option for now, if any of your guys have done this without factory reset do let us know and the procedure on how to do it
