Review and download any data you need, then go to Data & privacy > More options > Delete your Google Account and complete Google’s confirmation flow. Deleting Gmail alone is different.
Check the account avatar and email address, then review Gmail, Drive, Photos, purchases, subscriptions, sign-ins, and recovery methods tied to that account. Download required data before continuing; deleting Gmail alone is a separate action.

Review the consequences
Check the data, purchases, subscriptions, and services that will be lost, then download anything you need.
3
Open the deletion control
In your Google Account, open Data & privacy, then More options > Delete your Google Account.
Follow the on-screen confirmation steps and keep recovery information current if you may need to request recovery later.
5
Verify the result
After confirmation, verify the intended account is signed out and retain Google's deletion notice and recovery-window information without signing into the wrong account.
6
Use Google's account recovery if deletion was accidental
If the deletion was recent, open Google's account-recovery flow immediately and follow its identity checks. Recovery is not guaranteed, so do not delete the account until required data and dependent logins have been moved.

If it does not work
If deletion is blocked, resolve ownership, supervision, organization, subscription, or billing requirements through Google. Do not remove recovery methods before the deletion request is accepted.
