What if i forget to delete some old accounts associated with the google email address? Will someone be able to take control of them? And my data will be there forever too.

What method do you use to find the old accounts to delete? Unfortunately i delete all emails after receiving them.

I have found, several years after deleting my Google accounts, that any accounts I missed, can be fixed with an email to support explaining I no longer have access to that gmail account. Sometimes I have to provide some understandable proof like an old purchase detail. The one or two accounts that didn't have good support to help, were no real loss to create a new account for.
