In Android 7.0 Nougat on Samsung devices, you can go to **Settings -> Clouds and accounts -> Accounts -> Google** to see a list of all the Google sync options.
Currently,
1. **Sync Calendar** says "Tap to sync now" with "Last synced date" of when I factory wiped the device.
1. **Sync Contacts** is the same as Calendar.
1. **Sync Google Fit data** is the same as Calendar.
1. **Sync Google Play Books** says "Tap to sync now" and "Sync turned off".
1. **Sync Google Play Movies & TV** is the same as Play Books.
1. **Sync Google Play Music** says nothing under it.
1. **Sync People details** says "Tap to sync now" with "Last synced date" of today!
1. **Sync Play Games Cloud Save** is the same as Calendar.
There are **no** enable/disable toggle checkmarks next to any of the items.
In **Settings -> Clouds and accounts -> Backup and restore -> Back up my data** is turned off.
I want all syncing with Google to be turned completely off, and any synced data to be deleted.
The exceptions are for Books, Movies & TV, and Music, for which I would like to manually sync once in a while.
How can this be done?
