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

@helloworld only thing I thought could give me some certainty was downloading archive several times. I waited for a day when its content would be as empty as I saw in interface. But I know I would never be 100% sure. I just hope their backups expired after 6 years.
