Whether you’re tired of those Google+ friend requests, long for the days when you didn’t have to update yet another social network, or dislike the extra option in your Google toolbar, we’ll show you how to easily disable your Google+ account with just a few simple steps.
To begin disabling your Google+ account, click on the small gear in the top-right corner of the Google toolbar. From this menu, select “Google+ settings.”
Next, click on “Account overview” in the left-hand menu. This will give you important account information. Under the Services heading, click on the link labeled “Delete profile and remove associated social features.”
On the next page, you will be able to have Google delete either your Google+ content or your entire Google+ profile.
By selecting content only, your account will be cleared and your data will be permanently deleted, allowing you to experience Google+ just as you did when you first joined. If you select “Delete your entire Google profile,” however, your entire Google+ account and content will be deleted.
