I can happily endorse the company's public statements on this subject: personal data will be deleted within the timeframes specified (for obvious technical and that's-a-bad-idea reasons, it's not instant). Part of SRE's function is to arrange for SLAs to be met, including deletion SLAs.

- Nitramp 10y agoIt is fully deleted.

- ekianjo 10y agoDont worry the NSA keeps a copy for you just in case.
- dward 10y agoYes. The only way to delete things at scale is to ship them over the network to a dedicated cluster of machines running a proprietary fork of /dev/null. Google has invested man decades into this system and holds numerous patents on the design.
