@George Clark – I have the same experience as you. It seems that some Google Products can be removed but others cannot. I would like to remove Talk so that I can register GMail on my mail Google account using a more sensible user name… sadly it seems that the only way is to delete my Google account (which is linked to many services and then set up a new Google Account!

I have a Picasa username that I want to use as my Google account username but I can’t because Picasa has it. So, if I close and delete all services, can I use that username or I won’t be able to?.
I ask this because of this If you use Gmail with your account, you’ll no longer be able to access that email. You’ll also be unable to reuse your Gmail username..

I wish to cancel my input to the Haussamen Blog, so that I may open blog of my own. What do I have to do to cancel my input account on this blog?
When I try to open for a new blog, I am blocked because it says that a user at this e-mail address already has an account.I do not wish to cancel my entire account, just the input part on the Haussamen Blog.

Unable to cancel my google calendar account without canceling entire service.
I entered the “edit” que under “my Account” but I am only offered to cancel all of my web history, or the entire account.
Is this for real???
