How to Delete a Google Analytics Account : Step-by-Step Guide
To start off, ensure that you remove the Google Analytics tracking code from every page on your website. This prevents any new data from being collected once the account is deleted, keeping your tracking clean and accurate.
After you’ve updated your website, log into your Google Analytics account. Once inside, navigate to the Admin section found in the bottom-left corner of the dashboard — this area lets you manage all your accounts and settings.
In the Admin panel, look for the ACCOUNT column on the left. If you have several accounts, use the dropdown menu to pick the exact one you wish to delete. Once selected, click on Account details to open up the specific settings for that account.
Within the Account details page, you’ll find the option to remove the account. Click on Move to Bin to begin the deletion process, which sends the account to a temporary holding area rather than permanently erasing it right away.
Before finalizing, carefully review the warnings and recommendations presented to make sure you understand the implications. When you’re ready, confirm the deletion by clicking Bin account.
Once moved to the bin, your account will remain recoverable for 35 days. During this grace period, you can restore the account if needed. After that time, the account and all its data will be permanently deleted.
With the account deletion process complete, you’re all set to create a Supademo quickly and effortlessly. This tool lets you get started in just seconds, streamlining your next steps.
