After you confirm#

  • The account is frozen immediately.
  • You will receive an email. For 24 hours you can cancel the deletion using the link in that email or by signing in.
  • After that, the following are deleted: documents with their files, previews and recognized text, correspondents, mailbox connections including their credentials, your key, and finally the account itself.
  • What remains is a deletion record without name or email address. Your data disappears from logs and backups after the retention periods stated in the privacy policy.
