Have you ever gone back and deleted all the accounts youve signed up for in the past online? OR have you ever wondered what you've signed up for and forgotten? i got bored the other day and googled a couple of my usernames...and wow I was surprised at what i'd forgotten id signed up for...needless to say a couple i went back and deleted theres no point having an account i'm not going to use.

I was just thinking about this today..I always just forget about old accounts and they never get deleted.Sometimes I just forget my password and then there is no way to delete them lol..But now I am going to start deleting unused accounts

Hi Saundyl, I never thought about that til now. I have an application to remember all the accounts I have created about a hundred fifty plus at the least. Some of them have delete account features and but most have none. I believe most sites delete them automatically after a certain period of inactivity, maybe I have to visit them sometime. Thanks for reminding this.)

when i sign up for something i keep all the info in a certain area so i some times look through and see if i have forgotten to use accounts and where i am signed up for but if i am not gonna use it and have tried something out i dont like i will go ahead and delete my account instead of having my account out there and maybe some one try to contact me through there and me never answer them since im not using it anymore and then they feel upset or something

That makes alot of sense. I hadn't considered people trying to contact me via those old accounts!

i didn't delete them,most websites don't give you the right to delete your accounts. sometimes i can't remember my password and never visit the sites any more.
