I have tried the # 4 and the safe thing to do. Some Android users who have been at the root of too many who have done this method and no problems arise.
However, his name is entered into the Android system, there is only the possibility of causing the system unstable (although to date there has been no report at all), so do with your own risk (own risk ok).
Similarly, information on how to delete your Google account in the Android offerings Andro-hex, may be useful. Thank you
