I see value in deleting information about me on the Internet. Not to hide it from companies like Facebook (because they probably hold you data even if you delete them), but from other people. You never know who can use your pictures/profile for. Obviously, the first step would be to not publish sensitive information about yourself, but if that ship has already sailed, well, the least you can do is to remove it before you "log out and stop using all the clients".

You don’t need to delete your account to hide it. Deleting your account simply just stops your ability to prove who you are if you later find your stuff archived or mirrored somewhere.

I don’t really see what you gain by deletion. Better off running one of many scripts to delete all your data and retain the account
