Your Google account is probably a key part of your digital life, hosting everything from email to cloud storage to calendars and more. To keep your account safe, Google has the option to add a recovery email which is an alternate address where you can receive emails if you forget or need to reset your password.
Although using a recovery email is excellent for security, you might at some point decide that you no longer want or require an alias connected to your account. Maybe you have a new email address, or the old one is no longer valid.
In this post, you will be guided on how to remove a recovery email from your Google account.
