OK, that's actually terrible.
Is there any way to delete the account and start fresh clean slate, so you can use that email address for an ordinary free google account that's just like any other?
The whole reason I had a custom domain was to be able to keep it even if I switched my email provider, of course. I planned to use this email address for everything forever.
- kevincox 5y agoYeah, I'm wondering if I can rename my workspace account so that I can add my primary email to my old account. Of course now I'll have split-brain because my photos are locked into the old account (trying to share and save doesn't work because Google forgets that they are supposed to be zero-rated because they came from a pixel). I'll see if this rename works, then I can slowly migrate off of the other Google services. For services that I still want I think you can transfer YouTube accounts between Google accounts. Same with Play accounts (you need to pay but apparently you can ask for a refund for a transfer).
