How to Delete A Google Analytics Account

Google Analytics is a program that watches all the little snippets of code you place on your websites, blogs and other online properties. The idea is to place the code on websites that have Google ads associated with your account. The Google Analytics code tallies up the page views, unique visits and other information about how your page is navigated. Google offers a simple means of deleting your Google Analytics account if you no longer wish to access the service.

Deleting My Account: Step By Step

Before you delete your Google Analytics account, visit each of the web properties that have your Analytics code in place and remove the code. Then, as long as you are the administrator of the account and the Analytics account is not linked to any other accounts, you can delete the account.

• Go to

  and sign in to your Google Analytics account.
• Click on Admin and then click on the account you wish to delete.
• Click on Account Settings, then click Delete This Account.
• Follow the instructions to delete the account.

If you have an Adwords account or Adsense associated with the account, you will not be able to delete the account.
