Unlinking two Gmail accounts means removing the connection between them, so they are no longer linked or synchronized. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you unlink two Gmail accounts:
Method 1: Unlink accounts using Google Account settings
- Sign in to the Google Account settings page using the account you want to keep.
- Click on the "Data & personalization" tab.

Additional steps:
- If you're using two-factor authentication (2FA) on one of the accounts, you may need to disable it temporarily to unlink the accounts.
- If you're using Google Sync or Google Drive to sync data between the two accounts, you may need to disable these features before unlinking the accounts.
- After unlinking the accounts, you may need to reconfigure any apps or services that were connected to both accounts.
Important note:
- Unlinking two Gmail accounts will not delete any data or messages from either account. However, it may affect the functionality of certain features or apps that rely on the connection between the two accounts.
