There are 683 data brokers that either completed registration with the California Attorney General's office, or had incomplete registrations as of 2023 [1].
None of the removal services come close to covering all of them.
If you live in California, on 1 August, 2026, data brokers will be required to check a list at the California Privacy Protection Agency, and if you added your name to the list (you cannot yet), the data broker must a) not sell your data, and b) if you selected this option, also must delete your data. The brokers must check the list no less than every 45 days [2].

(Also, LexisNexis should be on the list of top 10 data brokers. They likely have several tens of pages of data on every US adult, and perhaps hundreds of pages, if you drive a late model car that collects "telemetry" as you drive)
