Iโ€™ve been sifting through my digital footprint for a while now and Iโ€™m getting to my old accounts that Iโ€™ve mostly forgotten about. I thought it would be fun if we shared what we delete, you just might jog someone elseโ€™s memory of an account they still have floating around.

I have not deleted so many apps and accounts, but I have stopped using them or reduced the usage.

Windows 10 -> Linux but Windows 10 is still installed on another disk so technically it is dual boot even if I have not used Windows for months.

Office -> Libre office

Gmail and Hotmail -> Protonmail and Posteo

Google maps -> Here maps and Comaps

Onenote -> Notesnook

After reading other comments and thinking for a bit, I realized that I have made more switches.

Google Translate -> Deepl

Google -> DuckDuckGo -> Qwant

Youtube -> Invidious

And I have never used Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Reddit much.

Thatโ€™s pretty good, I would consider deleting accounts you leave behind though if that works for you. As it sends a signal to those mega corps, as their numbers drop itโ€™ll create pressure. Even if one account is just the tiniest drop in an ocean, together we can make a dent large enough.

Deleting accounts I don't use will be the next step. So far I prefer to have Google and Microsoft accounts and not use them compared with deleting them.
