Wow, that is a long list.
Thanks for the reply Mike, interesting though so many accounts are IMPOSSIBLE to remove!

Do you know if sites like Discord are hard because they use their own server?

Go to the bottom of one of their emails and you should see (in small print) "unsubscribe", and it should be underlined when you hover your mouse over it. Click on it then, and you'll be directed to where you can get off their list.
How To Delete An Account: Photobucket
- Log into the account
- Hover over the profile picture in the top right corner of the home page, then click “Settings.”
- Click the “Account” tab
- Scroll down and click “Delete this account”
- Select your reason for leaving, then press “Delete my Account”
- It will take a few days for your account to be deleted
I stopped using Photobucket too Marie, when they started demanding
money to store pictures, I had one image there, the flag that is my avatar,
it used to flutter.
Anyway I got the occasional email asking me to upgrade the account, these
I ignored, then last week, I got another from them telling me that I could use
the account in any way I wanted, for free, seems like they frightened too many
away and are now sorry!
Mike.

For Photobucket and other accounts, if you no longer use an account log into it and delete it. It is a security issue leaving old accounts in place you no longer use.
Also don't use your personal email address when registering online. Setup a secondary email address to use instead. This prevents spam and other unwanted messages from being delivered to your personal account.
Use a password manager on your phone or computer. Each time you sign up for a new account or anything that requires a login and password enter the information into the password manager. Then you have just one password to remember, the password to open the manager. All of your other usernames and passwords will be saved in the manager. This is a secure way to log your information.

Nothing actually ever gets deleted from the internet, just the user's ability to see or access it.
I'm not concerned with accounts I've created, I have "throwaway" email addresses for those that I don't have a fully integrated relationship with. The 'people search' type sites like beenverified and Intelius that collect information from public databases and charge access. I made a considerable effort to suppress access to my personal information, didn't want any inmates where I used to work looking me up.
