If you have used your Google account for a while, you’ll probably have some important data that needs saving, such as emails, notes, photos, and other information. If there isn’t a lot, you can download them individually, but Google provides a simple way to backup all your data.
> Open your Google account settings by going to accounts.google.com.
> Under the “Personal info & privacy” option, click on “Control your content.”
> Once open, click on “Create archive.” There you can select which Google products you want the information saved from.
> You can then choose the file type of the archive and where you want to save it. You can also opt to get a download link via email, or save it to cloud services like Drive, OneDrive or Dropbox.
> Depending on how much information is being archived, the entire process could take a while.
Also, remember that you might have your Gmail address associated with other services as well, such as bank accounts, and other websites, so make sure that you keep a track of these accounts and update the information accordingly, before deleting your Google account.
Deleting your Google account
> Go to your Google account settings, and under the “Account Preferences” option, click on “Delete your account or services.” Then tap on “Delete Google account and data.”
