If you are really serious about keeping your number private, deleting it is an option. It should be noted that this does not keep Google Voice Account from retaining the data on their servers. If they have already collected information under your phone number, then no matter what happens to the account associated with it, they will still have all of that info readily available to them.
Continuing along these lines if someone else has access to any communications or computing device linked up with that same number then there could be some potentially embarrassing situations popping up here and there as well!
So once again the advice goes out… think carefully before giving away a hard-won piece of personal information like a cell phone number which can lead back directly to you! And don’t forget to think about the various types of services that you use and what information they might be keeping on file for who knows how long.
Removing a phone number from your account is easy, but it won’t delete any history or data associated with that number.
