Another silly question about account deletion
-
Just wanted to ask if an account is deleted (all the blog sites and the account itself) does the content of the account stay online? E.g. comments left by that account, gravatar accounts, and pics all over WordPress – or do these go as well?
Many thanks!

Hi – You’ll have to delete the site entirely in order to delete your account.

Thank you for your reply! Does this mean comments and such will remain however? I.e. can you still see the name and gravatar image and so on after you delete your account, or do you need to empty it out first?
Thanks again

The gravatar will be deleted, but whatever comments you’ve left on other sites will remain as they are unless the site owner opts to remove them. I hope this helps!

Thanks, the only reason I ask is because I have another account which I already deleted (about 10 days ago) without wiping everything on it and I can still see my comments and gravatar image on it. Maybe it takes a little while, I understand the blog owner has ownership of the content though, for comments etc.

The information in the deleted account will only be completely purged after a few weeks. This is to allow for people who perhaps change their minds and decide they want to try and get the account back.
