Many times you feel that you no-longer need one of your gmail accounts and then you think that is there any way by which you can delete your gmail account. So, the good news is that google has an option by which you can delete your gmail account. I would go one step further and say that it’s a good practice to delete your gmail account if you feel that it’s of no use to you because it saves precious server space.
So, today I am going to guide you on how to permenantly remove your gmail account.
Step1: Login to your gmail account.
Step2: Go to the link: https://www.google.com/accounts/ManageAccount?service=mail&hl=en
 |
| See the "Edit" link nest to My Products |
Step3: Click the Edit link next to the “My Products”
 |
| See the Remove Gmail Permanently option |
Step4:Now select the “remove gmail permenantly” link.
 |
| Final Page for deleting the Gmail Account |
Step5: Check the checkbox that says “Yes, I want to permenantly delete [email protected] and remove it from my gmail account”
Step6: Make sure you enter an email address to which you have access in the “New email address” field. You need that access to complete deleting your Gmail account.
Step7: Enter your current password and click the “Remove Gmail” button.
Step8: Login to your other gmail account mentioned in step6.

Step10: Now after the above link gets opened enter your password and click the verify option.
