Let us learn How to Delete Your Gmail Account. You can delete a Gmail account and all the messages in it, while retaining your Google, YouTube, and other related accounts.

Learn what deleting your account means

  • You’ll lose all the data and content in that account, like emails, files, calendars, and photos.
  • You won’t be able to use Google services where you sign in with that account, like Gmail, Drive, Calendar, or Play.
  • You’ll lose access to subscriptions and content you bought with that account on YouTube or Google Play, like apps, movies, games, music, and TV shows.

On Android Device – More data & content you’ll lose

If you use an Android device

You’ll no longer be able to use some apps and services on your device.

Google Play

  • You won’t be able to get or update apps or games from the Play Store.
  • You won’t be able to use music, movies, books, or magazines you purchased.
  • You’ll lose any music you bought elsewhere and added to Google Play.
  • You might lose your game progress, achievements, and other Google Play data from your account.

Contacts

You’ll lose contacts that are stored only in your Google Account and not separately on your device.

Drive

  • Data won’t be saved to Drive. This data includes photos taken with your device or files downloaded from emails.
  • You won’t be able to download or upload files to the deleted account.

If you use a Chromebook

You won’t be able to use any Chrome apps or extensions for the deleted account, both free and paid.

You’ll still be able to:

  • Let others use your Chromebook temporarily
  • Sign in with a Google Account that hasn’t been deleted

If your account has been hacked

Before you delete a hacked or compromised account, consider using Security Checkup to learn more about what parts of your account were accessed without your permission. That way, you can take steps to reduce further harm caused by the hacker. For example, if you:

  • Save passwords in your Google Account, you can find out if they were accessed so you know if they need to be changed.

  • Save contacts in your Google Account, you can find out if they were downloaded so you can let contacts know if they should watch out for suspicious messages.

  • Use Google Pay for transactions, you can check if there are any unauthorized payments so that you can dispute them.

Important: Once your account is deleted, you can no longer use Security Checkup to review activity in that account.

Review & download your info

Before you delete your account:

  • Review the info in your account. Learn how to download data that you want to keep.
  • If you use your Gmail address for online banking, social media, or apps, add a new email address for these services.
  • Update your account recovery info in case you try to recover your account later. Learn how to add recovery info.

How to Delete Your Gmail Account

Here’s how to cancel a Gmail account and delete the associated Gmail address.

  1. Go to Google Account Settings.

  2. Select Data & Personalization.

  3. In the page that appears, scroll down to Download, delete, or make a plan for your data.
  4. Click Delete a service or your account.
    You can also choose Delete Google Account and Data to remove your entire Google account (including your search history, Google Docs, AdWords and AdSense as well as other Google services).
  5. Then choose Delete a service on the next page as well.
  6. You’ll be prompted to sign into your account.

  7. On the next page you can choose the service you would like to delete. If you want to delete a Gmail account, click the trashcan icon (🗑) next to Gmail.
  8. Enter an email address different from the address associated with the Gmail account you are closing under Enter an email address in the How you’ll sign in to Google dialog box.

    Gmail may already have entered the secondary address you used when creating the Gmail account. The alternative email address you enter here becomes your new Google account username.

    Make sure you enter an email address to which you have access. You need the email address to complete deleting your Gmail account.

  9. Clic​k Send Verification Email.
  10. Open the email from Google (no-reply@accounts.google.com) with the subject “Security alert for your linked Google account” or “Gmail Deletion Confirmation”.
  11. Follow the deletion link in the message.
  12. If prompted, log in to the Gmail account you are deleting.
  13. Under Confirm Gmail Deletion Select Yes, I want to delete example@gmail.com permanently from my Google Account.
  14. Click Delete Gmail.
    You cannot undo this step. After you click this, your Gmail account and messages are gone.
  15. Click Done.

What Happens to Emails Sent to My Deleted Gmail Address?

People who mail your old Gmail address will receive back a delivery failure message. You might want to announce a new or alternate old address to the contacts you care most about.

Recover your account

If you changed your mind or accidentally deleted your account, you might be able to get it back. Learn how to recover your account.
