@mtechman It is easy to sign up for a google account with any email. You don't need gmail. I do this. You could have an account just for that phone, if you want, or, install Aurora from F-Droid and get Play apps anonymously. We have a tablet we do this with. It's for the kids, with homework apps and stuff. no google acct.

It's better than just deleting it because you'll lose the Play Store apps that you paid for especially.
I only use a separate account for Play Store apps and Android TV for example.
