Hi Jia,

Thank you for posting your concern.

Could you clarify if what you want is to indeed delete sub accounts or cancel or to remove the link of the sub accounts to the manager? I asked this because of the following:

• Deleting the sub account is not possible and you can only cancel it.
• If you want to cancel instead, then this is not possible using the API. You need to do it manually by following this guide
• If removing the link between the manager and sub accounts, then you can use the CustomerManagerLinkService.MutateCustomerManagerLink and set the status as INACTIVE

Yes, we really need to delete sub accounts, because we are testing our sub accounts creation API, so there are many sub accounts left. And we can not remove the link since the sub accounts have no other users with access to. them

Hi Jia,

This is Yasar and I work with Ernie. Let me assist you with this.

I am afraid that deleting a Google Ads account is currently not possible using Google Ads API. However, you may reach out to the Product team via this link for further guidance if it would be possible to delete sub accounts via the UI.

Let us know if you have any further questions.
