About Google account removal on Motorola after factory reset
A factory reset doesn't remove the previous Google account from your Motorola device. Instead, it activates the FRP lock — Google's Factory Reset Protection feature on Android 5.1 Lollipop and later, preventing unauthorized use of the device after a reset.
