Why does gmail shutdown when I try to delete my account?

[AC Question]

Gmail keeps giving me the same error message overtime I try to delete my account. The browser says it can't find the server. Which means there must be something wrong with their algorithm. I don't understand why they would change it in the first place but I need to delete this account because I no longer need it.

Welcome to Android Central! Are you trying to remove that Gmail account from the phone, or do you want to completely delete the Gmail account altogether?

To simply remove the account from the phone, go to Settings>Accounts - Google, select the appropriate Google account, then tap Menu>Remove Account.
