How to Delete a Google or Gmail Account
To delete your Google account, sign into the Google My Account website and click the "Delete your account or services" option. You can also use this tool to delete just your Gmail address but keep your Google account. Deleting a Google account or your Gmail address will delete all associated data as well.
