How to Delete a Google Chrome Account (Chrome Profile)

Note: In Chrome terminology, the “account” you see in the browser is a Chrome profile that links to a Google Account. Removing the profile only clears local data from that device; it does not delete the Google Account itself.

Step‑by‑step guide

1. Open Google Chrome on your computer.

2. Click the profile icon (your picture or initial) in the top‑right corner of the window.

3. From the dropdown, select “Manage profiles.”

4. In the “Other Chrome Profiles” section, locate the profile you want to delete.

5. Hover over that profile; a three‑dot menu (⋮) will appear.

6. Click the three dots and choose “Delete.”

7. Confirm the deletion when prompted.

   This removes the profile and all locally stored data (bookmarks, history, passwords, etc.) from that Chrome installation.

What this does not do

• It does not delete your Google Account (Gmail, Drive, Photos, etc.).
• The Google Account remains active and can be used in other browsers or devices.

If you want to delete the underlying Google Account

1. Go to Google Account → Data & privacy (or open https://myaccount.google.com/delete-services-or-account).
2. Scroll to “Delete a Google service” and click “Delete a service.”
3. Find Chrome (or the specific Google service you wish to delete) and follow the prompts.
   See Google’s official guide for full instructions¹.

Alternative: Remove a signed‑out account from the sign‑in chooser

• Visit https://accounts.google.com/InteractiveLogin/signinchooser.
• Click “Remove an account” at the bottom of the list and select the account to remove.
  (This only removes the account from the chooser UI, not the profile itself)⁵.
