Removing A My Analytics Account From Google Analytics[How To]

We all love Google Analytics for providing us very valuable information to analyse my blog visitors.

But I don't like the missing "Remove My Analytics" account option in it. By mistake I created a duplicate Analytics account and wondered to know that there is not direct option to remove an unwanted Analytics account.

After Google few minutes of Googling I came across few posts in forums and blog which helped me to remove the unwanted Analytics account.

There are two options to remove an Analytics account.

1. send a mail to Google Analytics help centre requesting them to delete it(god knows when they respond to your mail!!)
2. delete it on our own by creating a dummy Google account

As requesting Google Analytics help centre to remove the account takes long time, I decided to remove the account on my own by creating a dummy Google account.

How to delete an Analytics Account?

1. Create a new Google Account ( you can use an existing account if Google Analytics is not on it)
2. Login to your old Google Analytics from which you want to remove the unwanted/duplicated Analytics account
3. Select the Analytics Account which you want to remove by choosing it from My Analytics Accounts drop down menu
4. Click on Access Manager; Opens Access Manager interface
5. Click on Add User link to give administrator rights to the new dummy Google Account created in the step 1
6. Key in new dummy Google Accounts in Email address input box
7. Select Access type  as Account Administrator
8. Click on Finish; Now the new dummy account is granted administrative rights on the Analytics account which you want to get rid
9. Log out of Google Analytics and login back with your dummy account
10. Click on Access Manager; Opens Access Manager interface
11. Click on Delete option displayed next to the old Google Analytics mail id.
12. That's all. Your old Google Analytics will no longer contain the unwanted Analytics account.
