Been away from War Robots for several months now. Accessed my account yesterday just to check things out and decided I wanted to start the game over - from scratch - so I could build things up differently. I play on an android platform - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge - and thought all I'd have to do to delete my account is to go to settings - apps - War Robots - then delete cache, delete date, then restart the game; side note - when setting up this account originally, I did not choose to install Google Play. When you first start the War Robots app, it gives you the choice to do so or cancel. I cancelled knowing there was a chance I could lose my progress, though that never happened.
Despite those steps, every time I start the game it reinstalls what I had previously had; my pilot ID and progress. My account was connected to my Facebook account - remember, at about level 5 the game asks you to log in to FB and receive 60 gold as a reward. I deleted the War Robots app from my FB account thinking that would allow me to start from scratch, but it still reloads the game the same way. I've tried clearing cache, data, uninstall and reinstall the app and removed War Robots from FB, but nothing seems to work.
Am I left with no choice but to play as is, or is there a way to start over that I'm missing?

When I uninstalled War Robots from my Android phone and reinstalled, it gave me the option of loading my progress, so theoretically, I could have started fresh if I wanted to. Try uninstalling it, and when it reinstalls, don't load your previous profile.
On another note, why start over? It's going to be brutal. No matter how low level you were before, at least you'll have some old economy stuff to give you a leg up.

Create a new Google account. Then delete and reinstall the game (i haven't tried just deleting the data that might work but don't know) now log in to the new account and you will have nothing but a shiny new drestler.
Though if you are gold or lower just keep your old account it already has all your slots and they probably gave you some Au if you were away very long. Just plug in some lower bots you enjoy running and go from there.
I say that because I started over almost 3 weeks ago and the new update to WS2 is a killer. It will take a month to farm any of the new bots or longer since your WS will be at level one.

No matter how low level you were before, at least you'll have some old economy stuff to give you a leg up. I believe it only gives you that option if your chose to connect War Robots to a Google Play Games account. Like I said, when I first installed War Robots, I was given the option to cancel or connect to a Google Play Games account. I chose to cancel that option and play without the linked account. So, if I uninstall and reinstall War Robots, then open up the game fresh, there is not option to load a previous profile. It just loads the one I want to delete or get rid of. |

It will take a month to farm any of the new bots or longer since your WS will be at level one. Created new Google account and made it the primary account on my android phone. I then cleard War Robots cache, data and uninstalled the app. Reinstalled under the new Google account, then opened up the game to find that it (once again) loaded my previous account, pilot ID and all.
I don't mind starting over, and I understand the new WS2 is a killer, but it's what I want to do. It's a mystery as to why the app keeps loading my previous profile when I've clear cache, cleared date, uninstalled then reinstalled, removed War Robots app from my Facebook account, did not and will not link the game to a Google Play Games account.
With all the deletion and account changes I've made, I don't understand how War Robots is able to continue loading the old War Robots account. Is there something else I'm not seeing that is tying my android device to the old account?
