It may not be "legally binding", but it certainly is a big risk: look at all the hoo-ha when (e.g.) Facebook/Adobe/etc. don't really delete your profile.
Note that I'm not saying they should/shouldn't: I'm arguing that there's many cases where indicating something is deleted (and not deleting it) can cause user outrage.
