I started verifying the server by putting a couple of static HTMLs in place. Then I noticed that Google wants you to keep these files in place. I didn't want to keep the static HTMLs in, so I want to switch to an alternative verification mechanism, and include the meta tags on the home page.

Unfortunately, once your site is verified, you never seem to be able to change to an alternative way of verification. I tried removing the HTML pages. No luck whatsoever. Google still considers the site to be 'verified'.

Does anybody know how to undo this? All I want to do is switch to the meta tag based method of site ownership verification.

Just to make sure I can close this question, jscott was right:


Click on "Manage Site" -> "Add Remove Owners" -> "Unverify" on the far
right of your username. Just tested this with one of my domains. After
this, I was able to re-add my site and offered to verify again.
