How to Delete Google Account Permanently ?

We sometimes requires a new Google account or Gmail Account due to switch in professional world, since Google's service are free we always encounters a weird issue with usernames. If your name is too common or despite its uncommon you may realises with the scarcity of good usernames because whosoever in the world you're sharing your name is already taken that. Currently Google allowing "Name.Surname" and "Surname.Name" combination in their platform, if you removes or add "dots" in between then also mail IDs belongs to you, the only option left with the users is to put a "number" and mostly its a "Date of Birth" or otherwise a initial digits of Mobile Numbers or the numbers Google are suggesting but tat looks really bad for many who just wanted a simple username but missed it due to first come first serve basis.

Many times we started Google Accounts overlooking the future aspect but later due to professional commitments we may requires a professional Google Account but then we found that such Usernames are no more available in that case we may not able to invest on paid mails and have to find out better usernames which we have to create with some keywords for uniqueness, imagine about you started your own local business of restaurant, shops, blogs or anything else for your brand and you realised that username is already taken and since for a brand name you can't put numbers to make it unique, it will look bad anyways. There was a time when GMail has many competitors but slowly and gradually Google outsmart all, at this point of time only Outlook from Microsoft looks to be a alternative other then Google although whosoever is using Outlook must have one Google Account.

Google till now not providing the facility of "Alias" name which allow account holder to have multiple usernames with one ID and people who uses multiple IDs due to Professional and Personal reasons have to create another to fulfil the need. At the other side mostly all other competitors providing this service but whatever the logic is for Google they don't likes the idea of allias, though Google does not stopping you to open multiple accounts only during Adsense (if you wish to earn money from online) you might look suspicious as Google wants to save themselves from any mischief hence play safe despite completing all the formalities by them. Google also let users to delete existing Gmail Accounts if not wants to use anymore. Hence lets figure out how we can get rid from Google account we're not wishing to keep. Remember tat username will no longer be available hence to play safe think twice before to delete Gmail Account.
