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 deleted a lot of google accounts. No, I don’t trust them to delete everything. That’s why I take care of what I put in that account. I also delete everything myself - even though I know, I can’t be sure that google deleted it too…
A few times I filled up the account with hard encrypted big files of nonsense… just to confuse the enemy. :-)
Deleted my google account about 10 years ago. No “experiences” to speak of, you just have to go in knowing that you’ll lose online access to everything Google: mail, calendar, youtube, etc. But that’s what Google Takeout is for.
As for your last question: No, I don’t. Lack of trust is why is wiped my Google account in the first place.
Yup.
Yep back in 2016. Never needed it since
They’d never delete it. They will just mark it as inactive so you won’t see it, but their ai bots will.
Does it matter if you trust them to delete everything? What you do if they didn’t?
shred all the hard-drives in their data-center
