How to delete your Gmail account

Immediate link for Gmail. Beware: there is a more general link for unsubscribing from all kinds of Google services. See also our 'Google' entry and http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?answer=32046

TIP good to know

Publicly visible text/images often aren't properly deleted even when you succeed in deleting an account. Try editing or deleting them manually before deleting the account itself. If you're unsure what happens to your tracks: this can be found mostly in the Terms of Service/Privacy Policy; otherwise you can always contact Gmail and ask personally. By the way, deletion requests don't necessarily mean your data will actually be deleted (e.g. due to legal obligations).

If you can't find any contact info and still wish to ask something, for example a question about what exactly is deleted, about data retention, etc., you may contact the domain owners using this info.
