I love when companies have a delete account button, I'm not sure about conjoined data but if I delete my account I expect to be expunged or anonymized in a reasonable time and gradually forgotten as backups grow old. I have deleted my account on lots of websites and would probably delete 200 more today if they had that facility just for the sheer unlikeliness that I will need them again.
Think about how many 100s of websites you must have registered on by now... all those idle accounts just waiting to be sold, hacked, leaked. At least one of those sites probably has "/accounts.txt" just sitting there, their first foray into database driven sites.
If I start another company that requires user registration it will definitely have a delete account button.
