Some time ago I talked about. For those who don’t remember, I remind you that the Gmail project belongs to google and is considered one of the highest quality email services in the world. Despite this, sometimes there is a need to delete your e-mail. I will tell you how to do it.
The main problem is that Google periodically changes the design of its services, respectively, the interface also changes. So, the manual for deleting a mailbox written in 2010, for example, is completely inappropriate for 2014. Take this into account and do not get confused. Perhaps this instruction, which you will read, in a few months will also become irrelevant. I hope this does not happen.
First - go to your e-mail by entering the username and password.
In the upper right part of the screen you see your login. Click on it and such a menu will appear. Click on the “Account” button.
Now we are in the account settings section. The first thing we are asked to sign up for Google+, if you have not already done so. skip this step.
Select the tab "Data Management" - "Account Management" - "Delete account and data."
Finally, we get to the page where you need to confirm the deletion of the profile. Here you need to put all the checkmarks, enter the password for the mail and click on the big red button. Account will be deleted. It is impossible to restore it.
A Google mailbox is a very useful communication tool. But sometimes it becomes necessary to delete it: you want to register another account, use the services of another Internet resource or hide the “traces” of your presence on the global network.
Delete Gmail - the task is relatively simple, but, nevertheless, sometimes it causes certain difficulties. Especially for new users. Let us consider in detail two instructions for neutralizing the profile (the first is for the PC, the second is for the phone).
