At one time, the advent of the Gmail email service simply blew up the Internet. Such a large amount of memory for storing messages did not provide a single mail site. The anti-spam system here was also organized at the highest level. And most importantly - absolutely nothing had to be paid for all these amenities.
Today we know the price of cheese in a mousetrap. Carelessly rushing into the arms of an international corporation that unobtrusively but consistently promoted its services, many managed to share their most secret secrets with it. After the aggravation of relations between Russia and the United States, many users chose to abandon the use of the Western service and asked the question: how to delete Gmail? Now we will tell.

Conclusion
If the reader had Gmail-mail, he now knows how to delete it. You should take care in advance to keep all the important letters that you later want to reread.
