To permanently delete your Google Workspace account, you'll need to first cancel your subscription and then proceed with account deletion. Here's a step-by-step guide:
-
Cancel Your Google Workspace Subscription:
- Enter your email address.
- Click "Cancel My Subscription." This removes your domain and billing information from Google Workspace.
-
Delete Your Google Account:
- Go to your Google Account settings. This can usually be found by clicking on your profile picture, then "Manage your Google Account" or "Google Account."
- Navigate to the "Data & privacy" or "Account management" section (the exact wording might vary).
- Look for an option like "Delete your Google Account" or "Delete your Google service."
- Click "Delete your Google Account".
-
Confirm Deletion:
- Google will present you with information about what data will be deleted, including emails, files, calendar events, and photos.
- Carefully review this information.
- Check the box to confirm you have read the information and understand the consequences of deleting your account.
- Click "Delete Account" to permanently delete your Google Workspace account.
Important Considerations:
- Data Loss: Deleting your Google Workspace account will result in permanent data loss. Make sure to back up any important files, emails, and other data before proceeding.
- Subscription Cancellation: Ensure your subscription is fully cancelled to avoid future charges.
- Alternate Email: If you use your Google Workspace email as your primary email address for other services, be sure to update those services with a new email address before deleting the account.
- Recovery: Once the account is deleted, it is typically unrecoverable.
Deleting your Google Workspace account is a permanent action. Please proceed with caution and ensure you have backed up all necessary data.
