Google does let you delete your account. But it can take a few weeks for all the data to be really deleted (there is a recovery period, then some lag to delete everything).
- TheAceOfHearts 9y agoDoesn't Google have tons of old backups in cold storage? Are those old database records also cleaned up?
- kyrra 9y agoI can't say what or whatnot Google does. Ask customer support on that. But do know that GDPR will require this for the EU. https://gdpr-info.eu/art-17-gdpr/ https://gdpr-info.eu/art-17-gdpr/
- aiiane 9y agoIt takes longer for data to get purged out of backups than it does for the live data stores, but Google does clean up backups for deleted account data.
