They key is to only submit information that they already have, not anything new. For documents that need to be uploaded in some cases, the options are either to use a heavily redacted real document with everything blacked out except for the essential info, or just upload a random file because most of the time no one checks and it is just a required field to submit a form.

You are correct it is not actually "deleted", but it will stop your information from showing up on the website.

IMO, the "best" free people search is https://www.truepeoplesearch.com/. Their opt-out process is also pretty easy.
