How To Deactivate or Delete Google Account

Delete your Google Account

Deleting your Google Account affects all data associated with that account and any services you use, like Gmail, Google Play, and YouTube.

You can delete your Google Account at any time, but you may not always be able to restore it.

What happens when you delete your account

Once you delete your Google Account, you’ll no longer be able to use the following:

Services that require you to sign in, like Gmail, Drive, and Calendar
Data associated with your account, including emails, photos, and records of transactions
Subscriptions and content you purchased on YouTube, like movies and TV shows
Content you purchased on Google Play, like movies, games, or music
Information you've saved in Chrome
Your Gmail username. Once it’s deleted, you can't use it again later, and you can't create a new Google Account with the same username
Before deleting your account, it is important to review the data and products associated with your account on the Google Dashboard.
