Practical guide to data hygiene: Obfuscate personal info and verify true account deletion to protect your privacy online. Based on real-world pitfalls with service providers.

Ensuring proper account deletion and minimizing data traces

This post was rewritten from my original comment at jdm-contrib/jdm #758.

TLDR Accounts are often "disabled" instead of truly deleted. Always verify and obfuscate your data beforehand to protect your privacy. This is a general guide for handling account deletions – let's expand community resources on data hygiene.

How to delete prune Glitch source code and git history.

How to delete a project from Glitch

You cannot delete a project yourselv — you'd have to request this from their support by email — however, you can delete all its assets. After doing so, you can also delete the projects git history, to leave no trace of the source code at all.

  1. Edit a project.
  2. Manually delete all files and folder using the UI.
  3. Open Terminal .
  4. Type rm -rf .git.
  5. Optionally, further anonymize the project under its Settings.
  6. Set a random project name.

The warning reads as follows.

Attackers might be trying to steal your information from 192.168.0.1 (for example, passwords, messages or credit cards).
