Delete Gmail account if you have multiple Gmail accounts or don’t want to use Google accounts anymore, or want to create a new Gmail id after deactivating old one. But be aware when you permanently delete Google account, you can’t reactivate it after a specific time. We suggest you download all of Google data before terminating the Google account. Once you close the Gmail account, data stored on Google Drive, Google Photos, and other places will be deleted permanently.
You can individually remove Gmail, YouTube, Google Plus and other service or delete entire Google account at once. Google plus was shut down permanently for consumers and business use on April 2, 2019.
