Best way to delete a Gmail account

[Nero]

Is there one? Is it simple? I get stacks of crap, even with all the filters on and with my having asked senders to unsubscribe me, so I want to bin it and start again. If I do manage to can it, will it be 'permanently' deleted or just waiting to be resurrected sometime in the future? Thanks.

I'm pretty sure you can set up spam filters and the like, it might help reduce the clutter.

Or just open a new one. I've a personal one and a crap one I use to register on line stuff with which will inevitably fill up with rubbish.

Simple...

Just bear in mind if you permanently delete your Gmail Account from Google, you will not be able

to use the same email username if you change your mind and sign up again.

I have a Gmail account. Don't rally use it but I do not get any crap sent to me either.
