If you haven't published any apps and want to delete a developer account or transfer all your apps to another account, you can contact our support team. Deleting a Google Account will not automatically delete your developer account.

If you've published an app using your developer account and want to delete your account, you'll need to:

1. Sign in to your original account to back up or download your information before requesting an account deletion. If you delete a Play Console account, you won't be able to use it again.
2. Contact our support team to transfer your apps to another account.
3. Reply to the app transfer confirmation to close your existing account.

Note:

• If you want to use the same developer name on a new account, you'll need to change your developer name on your existing account to a different name. Developer names can't be identical.

• Deleting a Google Account will not automatically delete your developer account.

The account owner's email address and country can't be changed. However, you can use a different email address (username) to identify your Google Account. You can also create a new account using a different email address or country, and transfer your apps to your new account.

Accounts with published or unpublished apps

To transfer apps to a new account, go to our app transfer checklist, follow the steps carefully and submit your request.

Accounts without apps

If you haven't published any apps using your existing Play Console account, you can create a new account and cancel your existing one.
