Note that this doesn’t actually delete the existing signature, it simply stops it from appearing when you send emails. If you wish to delete your Gmail signature you can do so by clicking inside the signature field under the No signature option and deleting the information in that field.

If you have a signature that’s being added by another application, then this won’t remove that. For example, iPhone and Outlook have their own signature settings that will override your Gmail account settings, so you will need to turn off those signature options as well.
