How to Delete Gmail Account Permanently on Mobile Phone

How many emails do you have? Maybe you who are reading this article have more than one email. You may sometimes feel, having more than one email is a bit of a hassle. And you intend to delete one of them.

Here I will discuss How to Delete Gmail Account Permanently.

But before we go any further, there are a few things you need to know. Gmail is a product made by Google. Deleting a Gmail account is not the same as deleting a Google account.

That Google account is connected to many other Google products, for example, Gmail, YouTube, Google Play Store, Calendar, Google Drive, Webmaster tools, Blogger, etc. So here you have to be clear, you want to delete the whole google account or just the Gmail account.

The difference between deleting a Gmail account and deleting a Google account

Delete one of the google products (eg Gmail, YouTube, etc.).

You will lose content from google services that you delete. For example, if you delete the YouTube service, then all your history and viewing history will be deleted as well. All content in the service will be deleted. So back it up first if you don’t want to regret it. If you just delete the YouTube service (for example), your Gmail account will still work.

Delete google account (in its entirety).

With this option, you don’t just lose one or two of the products. However, all Google products connected through that account will also be deleted. So for this second option, make sure you know very well the consequences.

• You will not be able to access the content stored on google play games.
• You will lose access to the play store as well as all the apps you have purchased.
• The username you used previously will not be able to be used to register again.
• The data on Google Drive will be erased.
• Contacts that you saved in your google account will also be lost.
• You also cannot access purchases and subscriptions that you make through your Google account.
