Google+ shutdown: How to delete Google+ account?

How to find your Google+ account?

If you have never used Google+, then the best way to find out whether you have signed up for the Google+ service is by the following method.

• Open Gmail on a computer (on a laptop or a desktop)
• Click on the profile picture (top right corner)
• If it shows Google+ profile, then you have a Google+ account

How to delete your Google+ account?

• Access Google+ from Plus.google.com or go to your Gmail account and click on the Google+ icon to load your Google+ account.
• Click on the settings menu (on the bottom left corner)
• Scroll down to the bottom portion of the page and click on the last option, which says "Delete your Google+ profile"
• Confirm your identity by typing your password and click on "next" option
• Check "Also unfollow me from anyone I am following in other Google products." and "Required: Yes, I understand that deleting the Google+ profile for Vivek U ([email protected]) can't be undone and the data I delete can't be restored."
• Click on Delete
• Now you have successfully deleted your Google+ account. Repeat the same steps if you have multiple Google+ accounts.
