In this article, we will guide you through the steps to delete your Google Analytics account.
Step 1: Sign in to your Google Analytics account
To begin the process of deleting your Google Analytics account, you first need to sign in to your Google account. Go to the Google Analytics website (https://analytics.google.com/) and enter your email address and password to log in.
