Resetting Google without resetting the O.S on my Tablet?

[Android Central Question]

Hi.
Galaxy Tab A (2016) Model: SM-T580

How can I completely reset my Google app without having to reset all of the OS?
I went to Settings-Accounts to select Google but it is not listed. Tried to add Google to accounts, but “problem with communicating Google server, can't sign in. I'm unable to get to the account to remove it.

In desperation ,I have uninstalled Google manually , reinstalled and was able to recover all of my data but it seems that it also recovered my Google problems.

Problem1: Tapping Google icon on desktop: “Update to use Discover” shows up,then
tapping :”open with”Google Play store” tap yes, then “Settings/feedback, etc.” shows up on left side of screen...then : “Error retrieving information from serverF-DFERH-01”

Problem 2: ” When tapping Contacts icon on desktop: “Updating contacts” shows...then circle keeps spinning but nothing happens..

Problem 3: When tapping“Open Play Store” icon on desktop:
Again..error retrieving DE-DFERH-01 and “retry..tapping “Retry” the Settings/ Help/ etc.

Now, is it possible to just reset Google without resetting the OS on my Tablet??
I would appreciate any suggetion you have.
Thank you in advance. Ann

Welcome to Android Central! Go to Settings>Apps, select Google, then Storage, then Clear Cache/Clear Data, and then Force Stop. Now open Google again and wait a few seconds for it to resync with your account. Do the problems persist?
