You cannot be quite sure

- that someone who takes over your "garbage" account

- could fake someone else (on your behalf)

- with a traces on corporate servers that will lead authorities to you in the future.

It might be highly unlikely to happen, though.



One way to leave is to garbage the account, then put a max size password on it, generated randomly. Then forget about the whole thing. Maybe that is safe enough?


Until they actually delete the data, there's a way for someone other than you to get to it. It could require a terrible password reset feature or a breach, but the data is still there.
