How to Delete whole Google account?

If you are really unhappy about all the personal data Google has stored about you, one drastic option is to delete your account altogether. This is not a decision to be taken lightly, because it means you will lose all the information and files you have stored in Google services, including Gmail, Drive and YouTube. It will also cause problems if you use an Android phone or tablet, which require you to be logged into your Google account so you can install and update your apps.

Still, if you are determined to cut loose from Google, you can do so by logging into your account at www.google.com/settings/datatools and clicking the link ‘Delete Products’ at the bottom of the page.

Then click "Close account and delete all services and information associated with it".

You’ll then be asked to confirm you understand that you’ll no longer be able to use the listed services (annoyingly, you need to select them individually) and to sign in for the final time before you click Delete My Account.

Google does not say how long the deletion will take, but it is likely to depend on the amount of data you have stored across its various products and services.
