My account is now "paused." I guess as long as they're not billing me I'll be ok. I found this to be a very strange business practice!

They told me they don't cancel accounts and they keep the data on their servers forever. Something about keeping the historical CTR on keywords forever.

Maybe someone came in behind the guy who replied first and told him he was an idiot, then cancelled it for you. :P That’s funny..

Not synching bewteen the overall Google accounts system and individual services like AdWords seems like it could cause customer communication issue. However it must not or you'd see more people drawing attention to it. The reason I put up this post was I thought it funny/strange to ask to cancel and then be told no.

I sign up for an account. I use the wrong username or simply don't want an account. I go to delete it. I get told that I can't. So, I can either get a time machine and prevent this from happening or get a job at Google washing windows or something, and then hack my way into the system using a combination of my security access and a squeegee. Schweet. Sad as it is, I can’t count the number of times that this has happened to me when signing up for just about anything on the web.

I never thought I would see something like that. I like the part where it says, "simply do nothing", if you really wanted to close your account. Well, that was simple enough, eh? :) OMG that is so funny! I never thought I would see something like that.

This kind of stuff happens all the time. It should not be a surprise that Google makes such blunders. The bigger a company gets the more this kind of thing happens.

My website was declined. Now I can't try with another website because "this Google Account is already in use". It is used by declined Adsense account! I am enforced to create a second Google Account. Thanks God, I am not required to get another name! :) The other side:
