Plan business ownership before account deletion

An employer owner must resolve company responsibilities before requesting account deletion.

1. Open Privacy & data and review the deletion preview.
2. Review each owned business and the available disposition choices.
3. If transferring ownership, select an eligible successor through the offered controls.
4. If deleting a business, read the confirmation and any hiring, billing, legal-retention or dependency restrictions.
5. Complete the account-deletion confirmation only after every required business choice is valid.
6. Submit the request and monitor its status; use cancellation only if it is still offered.

Do not transfer responsibility to someone without coordinating with them. A pending request is not completed erasure. Billing subscriptions and required retention may need separate follow-up; do not assume deletion cancels every external service.
