The good news is that you can delete your Gmail without touching your Google account. When you delete your Gmail account, you will lose access to your inbox and any emails you have sent and received and that email address will be disabled. All emails will be deleted after two days.
Before deleting your Gmail account, you should update your email addresses on all important accounts (like your bank account). You cannot recover an account with a deleted Gmail address.
After deleting your Gmail account, you can still sign in to your Google account with an alternate email address.
How to delete Gmail account without deleting Google account
Before you start, visit Google Takeout to securely download all data from your Gmail and Google accounts. Depending on how much data you have, this may take some time.

Then, click the Menu icon at the top right, and select âAccount.
You will now enter the Google account management page. Here, click on âData and Personalizationâ.

After you enter your email address, click âSend Verification Emailâ.
Click âOKâ.
