If you have a Gmail account and you want to temporarily or permanently get rid of it for some reason, this post will show you how to do so. Note that removing a Gmail account permanently will be quite difficult if you don’t have the password but if you have the right password then you can remove the Gmail account without any trouble.
Before you delete your Gmail account, here are some things you have to be aware of:

  • Google account and Gmail account are not the same so you can still use Google services even if you remove your Gmail account.
  • If you are using this Gmail account to recover another Outlook or Gmail account you must modify it.
  • The same thing goes if you use this email with your bank account or other third party sites such as Twitter, Facebook and so on – you must change it.
  • All the conversations in your email messages will be forever gone unless you create a backup with Google Takeout.
  • Despite deleting your Gmail account, all your Google Play purchase or search history will not be deleted.

And now that you’ve covered the important reminders, proceed to the instructions below to delete your Gmail account.
