Have you ever deleted a google account before? Any Experiences? What should one know about this? Do you trust them to really delete everything?

I have been preparing to delete my Google account very soon. I did a final takout request and I'm waiting for that email (it has been 4 days since the request), but there is a lot of stuff since it is a very old account and I was deep in the Google ecosystem. Over the last six months, I have deleted my Microsoft, Reddit, and Facebook accounts and I don't regret it. Google has always been the big one and it has taken a lot of work to rearrange my life to cut it out.

Me too. I am at the point of identifying what I think I need to switch over. Bank accounts then start deleting shit.
