It took a few months preparation but I deleted all my google accounts today, and it feels good.

    I deleted my Amazon account and swore never to order from them again, and so far that’s been a effortless affair. Using smaller vendors and bookstores on principle makes me happy. I deleted my Microsoft account as well, but since I don’t use Windows that was really more of a formality than anything else. Google I stopped using and am never signed in to, but I haven’t deleted the account I opened in 2004, and I still fetch mail from it. I cleared all information from it that I could, and that’ll have to be good enough for now. When it goes a year without receiving a meaningful message I will consider getting rid of it entirely.
