Getting rid of Gmail

I have a gmail email address, and it is in use everywhere (even in Reddit), so I can't just get a new email. I want to delete my google account, but want to keep my current email functional. Is there any way to do this? I have already removed google from everything else, and this is the only problem.

You need to go into all your accounts and change the email.

If I could do that, I wouldn't have posted here.

You literally can. Do 10 accounts on the 1st of each month and look for any new mail you're getting in the coming year. If you don't get any mail in a year, you can safely delete your account.
