Just tried that.

Unfortunately, it seems to completely mess up the interface?

I couldn't even see all photos anymore. Even though I do not use backup at all. So it is not possible that those photos are in the cloud or something.

Force close the app and clear the cache, your photos will come back.

Or clear data completely, then open the app "for the first time" and immediately log out.

It'll work, but as you've discovered, google made sure that it isn't the happy path.

Also no search (not even by file name), no albums, some editing functions won't work (even though they're local), and a few more annoyances. but also no more backup prompt...
