delete unused online accounts

Pattern

An account that no longer serves a purpose remains an unnecessary dependency and exposure.

Close online accounts you no longer use after exporting anything worth keeping and checking what deletion actually removes.

Delete one unused account after saving anything you still need from it.

Preserve records needed for purchases, taxes, warranties, legal obligations, or future recovery before deleting an account.

digital hygiene: Recurring maintenance keeps the digital footprint legible, private, and recoverable.
minimal retention: Data and digital residue are kept only while they continue to serve a deliberate purpose.
