Respuesta corta
You can permanently delete your Google account at myaccount.google.com/delete. First export your data with Google Takeout — Gmail, Drive, Photos, YouTube and Play purchases are removed. If the account runs your Android phone, add another account first. There is a short recovery window after deletion.

01 — Solución paso a paso
Solución paso a paso
STEP 01
Export your data first (Google Takeout)
Go to takeout.google.com, select all products (Gmail, Drive, Photos, YouTube, Contacts, Calendar) and wait for the archive email. After deletion this data becomes inaccessible.
STEP 02
Review connected services and subscriptions
Move or cancel anything tied to this account: app logins, bank/government portals, Google One, Play balance and your YouTube channel. Some services may have this as your only sign-in.
Play Store purchases (apps, movies) are lost with the account. If you run a YouTube channel, it is deleted — move it to a brand account to keep it.
STEP 03
Prepare your Android device
If this is the only Google account on your phone, add a second account in Settings > Accounts or change the backup account. Play Store, Gmail and cloud backups won't work with the deleted account.
STEP 04
Open the official deletion page
Open the 'delete Google account' link at the top of this guide. Google asks for your password again; read the consequences page and tick both confirmation boxes.
STEP 05
Delete the account
Press 'Delete account' to start the process. The Gmail address cannot be re-registered immediately and may stay reserved for security reasons.
STEP 06
Know the recovery window
Deleted by mistake? For a limited time you can restore the account via Google's recovery flow; the window is short and not guaranteed. Act fast.
Consejos
- Takeout archives can be large — keep disk space and download the archive twice to verify.
- Do the deletion while 2FA still works; a changed phone can block the flow.
- Consider Google's inactive-account policy if you'd rather just stop using the account.
02 — Preguntas frecuentes
Preguntas frecuentes
Does deleting my Google account burn my Gmail address?
Effectively yes. The address isn't reused by others, but you can't use it either, and re-registering it is generally not possible.
Can I close only Gmail without deleting the whole account?
Yes. In account settings under 'Data & privacy > Delete a Google service' you can delete only Gmail while keeping Drive, Play and the rest.
Can a deleted account be recovered?
For a limited time, yes. Within the recovery window, with your password, you can restore it; after that, data is gone for good.
Will it affect my bank or government accounts?
Those use their own authentication; but if you sign in with your Gmail address, update your email there before deleting.
