Delete/Cancel Analytics Accounts

You cancel your account by deleting it. Important: Please note that once you've deleted your account, that's it: the account is gone, and we are not be able to retrieve any historical data or reinstate your reports.

If the Analytics account you want to delete is linked to an AdWords or AdSense account, you need to first unlink that account, and then delete it.

If the Google Analytics account you want to delete is not linked to an AdWords or AdSense account, and you are an Administrator of the Analytics account, follow the steps below:

  1. Remove the Analytics javascript code snippet from all your pages.
  2. Click the Admin tab at the top right of any Analytics page.
  3. Click the account you want to delete.
  4. Click the Account Settings tab.
  5. Click the Delete this account link.

All account administrators receive an email notifying them that the account has been deleted. Please let them know that it is their responsibility to alert other users of the account of the deletion.
