Merging Google Accounts?

[ThatNickGuy]

Somehow, at some point, I wound up with two Google accounts: nickpiers and nickcpiers. It's caused me headaches in the past, like logging into one on YouTube and not seeing any subscriptions because it's the wrong account. For example, my subscriptions are all nickcpiers.

However, after looking over them, I realize that most of my phone apps were purchased through the nickpiers account.

I've grown tried of this unnecessary confusion. I don't need two accounts. Is there a way to merge these accounts or move all data from one to the other?

Merging google accounts isn't supported at this time:

You can move some data from one to the other (like your subscriptions), but you can't move app ownership over.

You could also enable family sharing on one account so the other has access to most of the already purchased apps.

I ran into this problem when Google bought youtube. I ended up with two youtube accounts, and I have content scattered between them. At the time, it was very difficult to log into the old youtube account, because it kept forcing me to use my google account name/password.

It isn't currently possible to merge separate Google Accounts.

So, we're both screwed.

There's apparently a way to copy data from one account to another and then delete the other. But I'm a little confused about the process.
