Can you tell me how to delete game data? I mean I open Zynga Poker, I sign in to Facebook then I sign out but when I try to sign in to other FB account it takes me back to previous FB account although I clicked Sign out. I can’t find how to delete or to clear data so Zynga Poker forgets Facebook. I use this WSReset.exe thing but it works sometimes and sometimes not for Zynga Poker. In Android it’s simple. You sign out then you sign in. Windows ignores signing out from FB acoun in Zynga Poker game.
