Thunderbird keeps asking for login of a deleted account
Hi,
I recently removed an email account from Thunderbird. However, every time I start Thunderbird, a popup still appears asking me to sign in with the credentials of the account I already deleted (screenshot attached).
Steps I took:
Removed the email account via Account Settings → Remove Account.
Restarted Thunderbird.
The Google login prompt for the deleted account keeps coming back.
It seems Thunderbird is still trying to connect to this account in the background.
Could anyone advise how I can completely remove this account so Thunderbird will stop prompting me for the login?
Thanks in advance!

No, only email account, I have checked.
Is the SMTP server still there? click account settings and scroll down to 'Outgoing Server' to check.
Sorry, can't check anymore. I deleted thunderbird from my Mac after a flurry of pop-ups couple of hours ago.
Maybe it was caused by a stored password. After removing the account via Account Settings, did you then access Account Settings > Privacy & Security > Saved Passwords and remove all passwords for the account you removed ? If no then it may still be stored in the profile data.
