      No problem at all! First of all - there is no need to delete your Gmail account, that isn't going anywhere and everything you have in Gmail is just fine. The same goes for anything you have in Google Drive, Google Photos, etc. All of those are sticking around and are NOT impacted by the Google Plus shutdown.
      The only thing that is going away is Google Plus and the many of the APIs associated with it.
      If you have used Google Plus (also referred to as Google +) for anything, that is the content you would want to download to your own computer for safekeeping, reuse in the future, etc. You can get info on how to do that here: support.google.com/plus/answer/1045788?hl=en
      The only things that would be impacted would be anything using Google Plus APIs for log in/authentication systems, commenting tools, etc. And none of that will impact you unless you have created a software or a web/mobile application that uses them. (Which from your question doesn't seem like the case.)
      I hope this helped to clear things up. If you have more questions, please feel free to add them here, or reach out via email at: iamyourtechcoach@gmail.com
      Thanks!
