  • You will be redirected to your Google Account settings page.

Step 3: Navigate to the Data & Personalization section

On the left-hand side of the Google Account settings page, click on “Data & Personalization”. This section allows you to manage your personal information and privacy settings.

Step 4: Scroll down to find the “Download, Delete, or Make a Plan for Your Data” section

  • Scroll through the Data & Personalization section until you find the “Download, Delete, or Make a Plan for Your Data” option.
  • Click on “Delete a service or your account”.

Step 5: Select “Delete a Google service” and authenticate your account

  • Under the “Delete a service” section, click on “Delete a service”.
  • If prompted, re-enter your password to authenticate your account.

Step 6: Find and click on “Delete a service” next to Gmail

  • In the list of Google services, locate and click on “Delete a service” next to the Gmail option.
  • You may be asked to enter your password again.

Step 7: Follow the instructions to delete your Gmail email address

Once you click on “Delete a service” next to Gmail, Google will provide you with instructions and warnings regarding the deletion process. Read and follow the instructions carefully to proceed with deleting your Gmail email address.

Step 8: Confirm the deletion

After following the instructions, Gmail will ask you to confirm your decision to delete your email address. Double-check that you have selected the correct address and read through the consequences of deleting your Gmail email address. If you are sure about your decision, click on the confirmation button to proceed with the deletion.

Step 9: Account recovery and data retrieval

Once your Gmail email address is deleted, you will no longer be able to access Gmail using that address. However, your Google account will still exist, and you can continue using it for other services. Additionally, if you change your mind, you may be able to recover your Gmail account within a limited timeframe. Check Google’s support documentation for instructions on recovering a deleted Gmail account.

Deleting a Gmail email address is a straightforward process if you follow these steps carefully. By closing an unused or unnecessary Gmail account, you can maintain a more organized and efficient email experience.
