If you want to sever your ties, Google allows you an option to permanently delete your account.

  • It will ask you to enter an alternate email address. The alternate email address must be accessible, it is necessary to continue deleting your account.
  • Select “Send Verification Email”.
  • You’ll receive an email from Google to your alternate email.
