Now go have some tea\u2026 You\u2019re done! Recently I deleted my Google account while still logged into the browser. When I went back to try and access my Google page, I was asked to reauthenticate via password recovery. \u00a0I didn\u2019t have a copy of it anywhere, so I used another <a href=\"how-do-i-turn-off-email-on-my-iphone-10\/\">email address that I had signed up with when turning<\/a> on two-step verification (non-gmail). When that one was rejected, I tried a couple others (one gmail, one not gmail), and they were also rejected. The primary email for my account is now no longer valid!

Step 4: Enter an email address where you can be reached. If you do not have an email by which you\u2019d like to be contacted, just use gmail because it\u2019s pretty much guaranteed that Google knows what it is. STEP 5: When prompted, authenticate your new login with one of these options:<\/p>\n<p>Google Authentication App \u2013 Accepts most U.S Banks codes as well if the other sign in methods are unavailable.<\/p>\n<p>Step 6: If all else fails, and you can\u2019t get into your Google account for any reason, this is the last resort\u2026 \u00a0This will delete EVERYTHING that you\u2019ve ever saved on your google drive. Upon doing so, however (this part is VERY important), it will send an email to all users with access to your GOOGLE DRIVE. Make sure you have a valid email address of someone who has access to those files\u2014if not that\u2019s cool. \u00a0There is no way to restore them.
