Google+ is only about a week, but the service has already attracted the attention of a large part of the IT community and the media. As with any online service, it is important to know how to manage information.

1. How to make sure that you do not write to the post office everything from those registered on G +.

Despite the fact that G + does not display your e-mail address on pages, users have the opportunity to write you directly to an e-mail, which may result in spam or simply unwanted messages.

Here's how to turn this off.

We are looking for the gear icon (upper right corner), -> Google+ settings -> Privacy -> Public profile information -> Configure access to the profile -> Send email (under the avatar) -> uncheck “Allow people to write me letters from my profile” .



You can either prohibit everyone from writing to e-mail, or set limits on the circles.

eng - “Google+ Settings.” -> “Profile and privacy” -> “Public profile information.” -> “Edit visibility on profile”

2. How to selectively disable sharing

If you do not want someone to start sharing your entries, simply click on the drop-down menu arrow (upper right corner in the title of the entry), and click on “Disable Re-Publish”.

3. How to disable email notifications

Gear -> Google+ Settings -> Google+ tab -> and remove the extra checkboxes.

4. How to export all your data from Google+

Click on the drop-down menu in the black horizontal bar (where your name is), then on “Account Settings” -> “Data Download” tab.

5. How to leave Google+

There are three ways.

1. Changing the profile visibility settings in order to hide everything from the general access except your name and photo. However, what you have shared with someone up to this point will be available to those users.

The button "Edit profile" -> select the sections that we want to hide.



It will be like this



2. You can delete a Google+ profile with all its contents.

“Account Settings” (via drop-down menu on the black bar) -> tab of the same name -> Delete Account Close account and delete all services and information associated with it .

Attention, only the profile on Google+ will be deleted. Gmail, Calendar and everything else will not be affected in any way.

3. For fans of hardcore - you can delete a Google account .

And then no you Gmail and other services, everything will be demolished.
