This doesn't seem to work. I requested to delete my profile but I didn't get a confirmation email. However, when I requested to make my profile invisible I immediately received an email confirmation.
There was another site that had 30 day deletion policy, but if you logged in during the 30 days then deletion was automatically cancelled. Squirrelly behavior obviously.
I think that's what's going on here. Got another email today letting me know that my request to delete my account is complete, yet I could reset my password just fine.
