Imagine that one day you wake up wanting to erase your footprint on the Internet.You are tired of checking profiles, updating them, answering messages and being part of that inexhaustible chain.Is it possible to clean everything in one stroke?
Well, first of all we let you know: it is much simpler than it seems.But for some time you will be "trackable".If what you want is to disappear completely from the networks, that will take you something else of time .We help you find the right keys.
BEGINNING FOR MASS DELETE
If what you really want is a simple smear and a new account, a factory reset, there are pages that make it easy for you.Accountkiller specifies the ease or complexity with which to eradicate your fingerprints, using a color system.
Another portal, like Deseat.me, doesn't even ask you to log in to each of the profiles, just find your trail by collecting the user accounts associated with your email, so just by pressing a button, we will have eradicated all the associated profiles .What happened to those services that you don't even remember? Yes, many are still active, waiting for you to come back.
The problem is that many of those services are juicy data remnants. They are like a drawer full of letters : a simple breach in the security of the systems and all your data, old photos or profiles will be available to any hacker.
But this would be only a first option.We advise you to go one step further and clean, one by one, all your profiles , so that you will achieve a more controlled erase.
SAYING GOODBYE TO THE PAJARITO
We start with Twitter, one of the most popular messaging networks in the world.If you have ever thought about saying goodbye to your account, the steps are as follows: click on your avatar, on the icon on the right .Once the menu is displayed, go to "Settings and privacy".
From the "Account" category, you will only have to download a little more and click on the option "Deactivate my account".When you click, the system will notify you if you want to confirm or not.Press the blue button and thus deactivate your user.Yes, your account will remain active for 30 days .So if you want to eradicate it permanently, you will still have to take a couple of extra steps, click on the lower message of "delete permanently".
If you are from the mobile, the process is a bit more uncomfortable, nothing that does not fix the option "see as a computer" active.The only thing you will have to do is access from "twitter.com/settings/account", press the Three-point button (⋮) in the upper right corner and click on "Deactivate my account".The confirmation process will be identical to the one you will see from the PC.
Once you forget your account, for a whole month, it will be permanently deleted .
DEATH TO THE CARALIBRO
On Facebook the process is somewhat more exhausting, but not complex either.It should be noted that Facebook saves a reconstruction of our profile created as a digital impression.It is a file called «index.htm» that we will find if we download a copy of our profile from the 'Security' option .
Well, let's go through the final deletion.First we access «Account», in the upper right.Then we enter «account settings».From there we enter «security».It is the first of the left section.From the new drop-down menu we go down to "deactivate the account".It is the last option.And, right on the right side, we click on that little pen that says "Edit".
Why? Because we are going to say to Facebook that we do not want to make a temporary suspension, but to erase everything.We ignore the survey and it will ask us for a new password verification. A farewell message made by profiles will appear and a «they will throw you a lot Missing ».Press« deactivate ».
And you still have to wait for three months in case your exhaustive farewell has only been a temporary lapse, unless you take the final step: access this link and click on «delete my account ».We will be redirected to a new screen where it is informed that if we want a total deletion, we still have to login again and notify Facebook.
At this point even we will have to solve a visual puzzle captcha style .Facebook will inform us that the account can be restored for 14 days if we re-enter the profile.After these two weeks we will have deleted the trail.
FALLING YOU FROM THE VIDEOS
Google is not so demanding with that to erase the trail and it makes it easier for us.First of all we must log in from a computer on the YouTube channel that you want to delete.
Go to the advanced settings of your account and, in the upper right corner, click on your account and then on YouTube Settings .Surely you recognize the tool icon.
From here, in the configuration of your account, select «general description» and, on the name of the channel, select «advanced».We go down a little doing scroll down and click on «Delete channel ».
Google will ask you for the login data and the confirmation to delete the channel.Simply fill in the fields with your data and click on delete all the content permanently.
AND THE TWITCH CHANNEL
Deleting the Twitch channel is much simpler, at least deactivate the account.From this direct link you will only have to enter three data: the name of the channel-the one that appears in the browser's URL-and the password.
Well, and if we want we can explain the reason.Once pressed the option to disable will redirect us to a new page from which we will have confirmed our action.
STOP PHOTOS: NI INSTAGRAM NI PINTEREST
Getting rid of Instagram in a definitive way is not exactly difficult.First, access this link after logging in.You cannot delete your account from the app itself, so you will have to log in from a PC.
Once the drop-down menu appears next to the option "Why do you want to delete your account?", re-enter your password.Fill in this field because if not, you will not see the option to permanently delete.From the new option click "Delete my account permanently" and you will have it : your photo files will be gone.
That if, if you want to keep your photos, before deleting your account you can enter Vibbi.com, a platform from which, once we enter Instagram user and password, the web recovers the publications, the which can be compressed in a zip file and then downloaded to the computer.
The Pinterest deletion system is similar: go to your profile, once you are logged in, tap on the Menu button, on the "Settings" option, click on "Deactivate account" , confirm and confirm the pop-up menu again.End.
CLOSING LINKEDIN
LinkedIn sometimes also gets a bit heavy, so if you want to make your name disappear within the network, the steps are as follows:
Click on your name in the upper right corner.Then click on the "Privacy and settings" link in the drop-down menu .Click on "Account" in the left sidebar and click on "close your account".Okay, let's take a breath.Once we have reached this point, we will be asked for a reason why we want to close the account.We verify the data and press on «Verify account».
When we have finished we go to «close account», from the following page.Yes, LinkedIn takes about 72 hours to formally close the account .Luckily, it does not store files or links.
OUT GAMES: DELETING STEAM
If you have also tired of your Steam account, the most popular portal for the sale and distribution of video games from PCs, the format changes a bit, since different additional services are usually associated.We should go to this link where we They explain what happens once we make the decision to delete our account.
From there we go to the following online form in which we will have to fill in both the reasons and our personal data, associated PayPal account and, if we have registered CD keys with our account , the image of these keys to reboot them and be able to use them in the future if we want to create a new account, so all the games associated with the service will be eliminated, we will lose them.
OUT OF PELIS AND BOOKS: DELETING LETTERBOXD AND GOODREADS
Networks to write reviews of books or movies have become quite firm and popular ecosystems.But there may come a time when we feel exhausted and want to do without our old profile.If this is your case, follow the following steps.
To remove Letterboxd, nothing better than a direct and forceful link from which we will enter our password, once we are logged in, and end.
If we want to do the same in a network like Filmaffinity, the system is somewhat more elaborate : you must send an internal message with the subject «LOW», or an email from the email with which register you, putting in the subject «LOW», and attaching the username.
For security, the system asks that this deletion be processed by email for users who have +300 voted, critical or ready movies, but once this deletion will be impossible to recover it. No data is saved .
And if what we want is to get rid of our Goodreads account, you just have to go to the profile by clicking on the photo of the header, pressing «Settings» and clicking on the confirmation button «Delete my account» that It appears at the bottom .With those three steps you will be ready.
