Cancel Your Google Ads Account

Go to your Google Ads account preferences.
Click the Account Status section.

A more extreme option would be to delete your Google account, although this would result in you losing all Google products associated with the account, including emails, calendars, and Gmail. Deleting your Google account will also result in you losing access to subscriptions and content purchased with that account on YouTube and Google Play.

What Do You Need to Cancel Your Account?

You'll need the following to cancel your account:

Administrative access to the Google Ads account
Billing set up for your account

You can also cancel some of your managed accounts provided:

You have administrative access to your manager account.
The manager account has ownership of the managed account you want to cancel.

Things to Note Before Canceling Your Account

Canceling your account does not absolve you from making payments for the accrued costs in your account; you will thus have to pay them before proceeding with the process. Any account balance will be sent to you within one month. Google ad accounts that are inactive for a period exceeding 15 months also get automatically canceled.

Issues You Might Run Into Deleting Your Google Ads Account

You cannot cancel your Google Ads account without the login credentials, while a lack of the outlined requirements also renders you ineligible to cancel the account. You would also need to collect your customer ID, the sign-in email address, and account billing information and contact Google support if your administrative access user left the company.
