Why is there a name in my storage settings?

[AC Question]

Somehow, there's a name in my storage settings just below the bit where it provides the "Total Space" in my Samsung S4. It's not my name--it's one of my family's. I'm very sure it was not there before.

Are you running Lollipop? If so that could the storage used for a new account in your phone. For example, in my phone I've set just a guest user and this is how it looks.

No, here's a picture of how it looks like by the way:

Check something. Go to the Play Store and open the side menu. Do you have there more than one account?

To open that menu you can tap on the hamburger menu top left or slide right from the left edge.

Yep I have more than one account but all of them are mine and not from any of my family

That's strange then. That name in the storage is the user associated to your phone account.

Maybe your relative used his/her Google account to download something in the play store and didn't sign out.
