How to Delete Your Gmail Account

Sunday May 31, 2009
Upside down, she SWIMS just as legibly.
Among the longest ambigrams, "SWIMS" can be rotated 180° and still looks fine.
No matter the angle you look at Gmail (or your seventh Gmail account), though, it still doesn't look dandy?

Hi,

Would you please update your article on how to delete your gmail email account as some steps have changed?

I attempted to delete an account but am confused about what info I should enter. It’s the step where the alternative email address is already filled in. I left it as is (and also tried using other gmail account names to no avail) but repeatedly got error messages saying I should enter an external email address as my sign on name to my gmail account. Should I enter a Yahoo account name instead or what do you think it’s asking for? I stopped the deletion attempt as I didn’t want to be somehow entirely locked out of gmail. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks very much for your informative articles.
