Comment on How to Find Old Accounts for Deletion

Does deleting old accounts really do much? Once you do something online, you should assume it’s there even if you delete it.
Best you can do is adopt a more privacy conscious way to go about things and just let your old footprint go stale

I would say the only potential “benefit” is if the account contains non-public facing personal information - you are reducing the chance it gets leaked via data breach (assuming, of course, they actually erase your data properly)
But I would say it is at least worth it to reduce that potential risk, but you should also go into it assuming that anything that was publicly accessible has been archived / saved by someone.
