So ive just sold a site and am trying to remove the website profile from my analytics though i cant seem to actually delete the profile, only the data. Any ideas?
I'm little bit confuse with your question, btw if you want delete the site from analytic, its easy just click the delete.
Hello, To delete a profile: 1. Click Analytics Settings at the top of your Analytics account 2. Select an account from the Accounts summary box. 3. In the Website Profiles box, click Add new profile 4. In the Website Profiles summary box, find the profile you would like to delete 5. Click Delete from underneath the 'Actions' column 6. When prompted, click OK to delete the profile, or Cancel to return without deleting Please note that deleting a profile also deletes all historical data associated with it. Google Analytics is not able to recover this data should you wish to restore it in the future.
hmm i went to do that but a box came up saying if i confirmed it would delete the whole account, rather than the individual account?
It dont matter, ill just leave it for when a new site goes up and transfer the coding over. Cheers anyway
Those directions from Google are ridiculously misleading. What we think of as profiles are actually accounts, so if you go ahead and delete, you will only be deleting the account you selected and not everything in your Analytics account. From main page, it will say "Overview: all accounts", and beneath it has all your accounts. Click the one you want to delete. Now at the top of the page it will say "Overview >> YourWebsite >> Edit account settings." Click on "Edit Account Settings". Right under the default time zone, click delete this account. It will warn you, but it will not delete every account in your...err, account. The help section made it sound like each domain was called profiles, but apparently they are called accounts. Very confusing. Selym
Hey, I suggest you get in touch with the Mr./Mrs. who is the admin of this account and ask her to remove you as a user from this account.
