Remove a Google Ads conversion tracker

You can remove a conversion tracker if it is not being used to track conversion actions. 

What happens when a conversion tracker is removed

The removed tracker and its conversion data no longer appear in reports. For example, if Conversion Tracker A reported 50 conversions for Campaign A, after you remove the tracker you'll see 50 fewer conversions in the AW all conv column for Campaign A. (You'll also see 50 fewer conversions in the AW conversions column if you set up the column to include Conversion Tracker A.) 

If you sign into Google Ads, you can re-enable the conversion tracker and view historical metrics. Learn how to view and change a conversion tracker's status in Google Ads.
