Note : Deleting your account does not change your Google account in any way. Deleting it just means that your device (iPhone, Samsung phone, etc.) will no longer have access to your account.

What happens when you delete your Google account?
You may not realize that your Google account can be linked to multiple services. When you delete your Google account, you delete all of your information:
Note : Those items don't just go to the trash folder, where you'll have the option to retrieve them later. They're permanently deleted along with your Google account. You won't be able to log in to Gmail, Google Photos, etc. to see those files again.
You also won't be able to use Google hardware like Chromecast, Google Home, and Google Wifi anymore.
What to do before deleting Google account?
There are two important areas to focus on before deleting your Google account: Backing up your data and changing the email address associated with all your online accounts.
If you want to save any of the above information, it's important to do so before deleting your Google account. Of course, you can download or print individual emails, photos, documents, etc., but your account has a tool that makes this much easier: Google Takeout .
When you go through the process described through that link, you’ll see everything you can download from your account and choose which ones to save. This is free, so it’s worth looking through the list of things you can download to see what you’ll lose if you delete your Google account.
Another thing to consider is that your Gmail account will be closed along with your Google account. Since everything in Gmail will be deleted, any accounts (banks, social media, etc.) that use that email address will no longer have a place to send password reset emails, account alerts, and other important information.
To fix this, log into all of your online accounts that use this email address and edit the address so that any new emails the service wants to send you will start going to your other email account. There are plenty of free email accounts to choose from.
Good luck!
