Hello. I realize that your post is 1.5 years old...but I thought I would give it a shot. I was upset to read that Google has all of my data and searches from day one. So, I decided to leave them and start over. Your article explains how to delete my Google account and related services. Now, can I open a new Google account after deleting the old one? My mail has always been through Yahoo and I have never used any other mail service. Thanks for the help in advance! :)
