Somehow I goofed and have an adsense account under an email address I no longer use. I need to cancel it entirely so I can sign up under my main email but I can’t see how to do this. Does anyone have an email address at Google I can contact?

Is it actually necessary to cancel? I don’t think Google will know (or, probably, care) if you have more than one AdSense account, especially if one of them is not being used.

Yes in my case it is necessary to cancel because they will not allow me to open one with “email address one” because “email address two” has one. When I try to log in with “email address two” it says there is no ad-sense account
