> If the sender is on gmail, and you delete the message, does it remove it from their sent box as well? What if there are multiple recipients? Obviously google won't "unsend" email, they aren't a DRM platform that will delete data anywhere that anyone you have ever shared it will has ever sent it. > If you reported it as "not spam" and then trash it, is it removed from the "ham" training set? But things like "spam" email will be "unlinked" from your account at the very least, and possibly fully deleted (does information "learned" from a spam email count as that email in your mind? If they use a neural-net to train spam filtering does that become "your data" when it learns from something of yours?) But regardless, I didn't want to get into internet arguments about what the big companies might possibly be doing through a shitload of what-if's. I just wanted to point out that the reason the author of the blog had 'deleted' things in their takeout was because they were in the trash, and the trash wasn't emptied...
