I'm using it to finish deleting every single email. It takes forever and ever and ever. It's awful. I'm almost done y'all. I'll be completely off google, FB, Amazon, etc., but then need to figure out how to deal with family devices (smart TV with YouTube, etc). It's been a long road for the google email.
Don’t bother deleting the emails one by one. They don’t actually “delete” as in the data is gone from Google. Just stop using it in the future.
I exported most of my emails and am just changing my accounts over to a spam email and deleting a ton of accounts. It's a good exercise to recall tye million accounts you have so you can request data deletion and get rid of them.
