Cannot hide Google Drive icon from nautilus menu

Ever since I had selected my google drive account as my default storage location in Déjà Dup, an annoying icon with the name of my account shows up at the right side of my nautilus menu.

When I mount the drive, a desktop icon is created confirming it has been mounted. But when I try to view the drive's properties, I get this message:

Even changing the backup location to a local folder or turning off backup in Déjà Dup does not make the icon go away.

If i try to open the drive I get this message:

error message

As visible here, the option to remove the drive is grayed out even when it is unmounted in the right click menu:

drive icon

How do I make this go away once and for all?

Usually Google account was added through GNOME Control Center → Online Accounts.

You can open them from terminal with

gnome-control-center online-accounts

and then remove your account from here.
