# Cannot Remove Tracking Code

 * Hello,
 * We have multiple sites that we need to switch analytics accounts on, however 
   there is NO option in the yoast analytics plugin to remove a tracking code. Disabling
   and uninstalling the plugin does not work either, the tracking code remains in
   the source code of the site, and upon reinstalling the plugin it shows its already
   tracked to an account…
 * Can anyone shed light on where the Yoast plugin inserts the tracking code? I 
   checked functions.php, header.php, footer.php and I cant find it.
    Please help!

 * I have the same issue since I want to switch to google tag manager. Deleting 
   the plugin does not remove the tracking code and also can not locate it in the
   editor.

 * Same problem here! I want to use a different google acount, but there seems to
   be no way to change it.

 * For me the tracking code just doesn’t show… I may be lucky!
    I delete this useless
   plugin now.

 * Can someone provide any advice on the above issue. I have a similar problem. 
   Is there a way we can remove tracking only from one link and leave the code for
   the rest of the external links?
 * Any advice on that? I guess if we had someone with an advice on the original 
   question, that would sort of solve my problem too.
 * Please someone help!
