How to Disconnect Apps from an AI Agent and Revoke Access

Side by side

First identify what you are trying to stop

There are several possible goals: stop a recurring task, prevent new account reads, prevent sending or editing, remove saved information, or close the agent account. They are related but not interchangeable. Write down which outcome you need before clicking a broadly labeled disconnect button.

For an ordinary cleanup, start with the active workflow and its connections. If a task has already sent a message or modified a document, revoking access does not reverse that action. Use the original service to inspect and address the completed change.

Disconnect inside the agent

Open the agent’s connected-app or integration settings and locate the correct service and account. If the product offers separate read and action permissions, inspect both. Remove the connection you no longer need and cancel or pause the related recurring assignment where the product supports it.

Anthropic’s Duet guide says connections can be managed through Claude settings. It also states that disconnecting stops future access while memory from earlier conversations can remain. That is a useful reminder to treat connection cleanup and information cleanup as two separate passes.

Then review the source account

For Google data access, open the Google Account linked-apps page for the correct account. Choose the app under access to your Google Account, open See details, review its grant, then use Remove access and confirm. This addresses the third-party app’s access to Google data.

Stop using Sign in with Google removes a login relationship instead. Google’s Agent access controls concern Gemini/Google-agent interactions with linked apps, and removing that permission does not by itself disconnect the underlying Google account link. Choose the relationship that matches the access you want to stop.

Review history, memory and exported copies

Return to the agent and inspect the project or conversation that used the connection. Decide whether to retain the result, remove saved memory or delete the conversation. If you need a record, save the useful output before taking an irreversible deletion action.

Do not assume that clearing a visible thread removes every server-side copy immediately. Retention and backup handling depend on the provider’s current policy. If complete account deletion is your goal, use that provider’s documented route and review any separate billing relationship as well.

Confirm two outcomes separately

First verify that the service is disconnected in the agent and that the relevant data-access grant is absent in the source account. Then inspect the agent’s scheduled work, history and memory. A task may remain listed even after its connector stops working.

For Duet, the official guide explicitly says past memory can remain after disconnection. To stop past-chat searching, it documents Search and reference chats in Settings > Your Claude, or Settings > Memory in the older layout. That is a different control from deleting a source account’s access grant.
