Deleting Chrome Web Store developer accounts

This page describes how to delete a CWS account—either a developer or group publisher account.

# About account deletion

Items in the Chrome Web Store are associated with developer and publisher accounts. There are a few things you need to understand before you delete an account:

• Account deletion is permanent. There is no "undo" for this action.
• You can't delete an account that still has published items. If you have published items, make sure to unpublish them before you try and delete the account.
• Group publisher accounts can only be deleted by the owner or manager of the associated Google Group.
