I made a test on my new ZTE-Blade.

I reset the phone (factory reset) and when restarted I opened android market and asked me a new gmail account. After that I restarted the phone.

Then I traced the phone using sufbs and found those files that contain information of my gmail account :

/data/system/accounts.db

/data/system/sync/accounts.xml

/data/data/com.google.android.gm/databases/gmail.db

/data/data/com.google.android.providers.calendar/databases/calendar.db

/data/data/com.google.android.providers.gmail/databases/mailstore.#######@gmail.com.db

/data/data/com.google.android.providers.talk/databases/talk.db

/data/data/com.google.android.providers.subscribedfeeds/databases/subscribedfeeds.db

I do not know how many more files will be reported this information if I had opened all google apps (talk, calendar, contacts) before tracing.

Hope I helped.

After the previous test I decided to delete these files using sufbs (rooted)

/data/system/accounts.db

/data/system/sync/accounts.xml

/data/data/com.google.android.gm/databases/gmail.db

/data/data/com.google.android.providers.calendar/databases/calendar.db

/data/data/com.google.android.providers.gmail/databases/mailstore.#######@gmail.com.db

/data/data/com.google.android.providers.talk/databases/talk.db

/data/data/com.google.android.providers.subscribedfeeds/databases/subscribedfeeds.db

and after that I restarted the phone.

THE BIGGEST SURPRISE. The gmail account was deleted by the phone without factory reset.

Hope I helped again....
