is there ANYONE who can tell me how to get my google page creator account cancelled without losing my google email??? i have been trying to get googles attention for six months.... they refuse any kind of support on a "free" feature – yet, all i want is out of this non-functioning piece of junk – hopefully i can find a way to delete my uploaded files so they are not permanently googles property! |

Select the pages you want to get rid of, and unpublish or even delete them.
And just trash your uploaded files.
Is it really that hard? |

not everyone is a Google freak like us Mambo, you know that.. :P |
Mambo | 17 years ago # |
That's true :) Sorry
Yeah, just follow my instructions and everything should be ok. |

Google should allow you to delete a service from your account (and all the data associated). They do that for Personalized search, Gmail and orkut, but they should do it for all the other services. |

YEs, Ionut has a point. The communiity needs a hassle free opt-out function for any service!! Google should never create /foster the silo base. |

thank you all for your comments...
yes, i have unpublished a couple pages, but you can't unpublish the homepage! and, i haven't discovered any way to get those files that i uploaded – deleted... help here if you know how... thanks, |

Clip on the Trashcan icon next to the names of the uploaded files to delete them.
Delete all text from your Homepage. :) |

Log into your pages, you will see your uploaded stuff which has all the items. click on the dustbin alongside each file, that will delete the file.

okay... i don't have a trashcan/dustbin beside the uploaded files??
also, i don't have the icons to add things to my post – all i can do is edit html.... not exactly functional!
i can't delete the homepage – any other pages can be deleted, but not the homepage?
now... how do i get out of this account? why can't i close that account? is anyone at Google actually available for the users???? thanks, ~wanda

Wanda, dont forget its on beta phase.. :/ |
Mambo | 17 years ago # |
Click the checkbox for the Home Page. Then, go to More Actions... then select Unpublish.

Mambo...
i didn't ask how to unpublish... yes, i can unpublish and i have unpublished – i can't DELETE the homepage.... i also can't recover or delete the unploaded files... i want out of this account and i want my data released by google – is that possible???
David...
i can appreciate beta software – but, i can't buy not being able to get out of this account.... if i could close it and come back in with a new account, i might be able to get as much functionality as everyone else apparently is getting. this is a six month old issue that has been reported and isn't being resolved and what really bothers me is that no one else seems to have the problem??????????

okay...
i didn't say that quite right! i have UNPUBLISHED MY HOMEPAGE – the system won't let me DELETE It. if i could accomplish that, i would be out of the account – which is of course what i can't seem to do????
i am quessing that it is impossible – but, would like some experts confirmation of the fact.
meanwhile, can anyone explain why i would have a version that allows nothing but the "edit html" – while others seem to be creating homepages? initially, i could insert pictures but i lost the button? is it a fact that no one can do this now????
maybe what i am looking for is a way to get new/corrected ACCESS to Page Creator. how can the Page Creator that i can access differ from everyone else in so many ways? my URL is: http://pages.google.com/manager
a retired techie who really would like some assistance here.

Which browser were you using ? |
Wanda Taylor | 17 years ago # |
i am using Firefox.... got an idea??? |
Wanda Taylor | 17 years ago # |
Firefox version 2.0 is what i now have – but, for the past six months of problem it was Firefox version 1.5..... no difference in the results. |
Wanda Taylor | 17 years ago # |
Sohill??? was that question about browser relevant to my problem?
i really want some kind of resolution... i am not concerned about using Page Creator in the future... but, i am very concerned about future problems with my blogspot because of google. i have months of work that i don't want to lose because google decides to integrate page creator..... WHOA!
Help me if you can... thanks, ~wanda |

It was only a lame hunch. Since Page Creator doesn't support Opera (and Safari, I think). Try it with IE. |
