I'm sure most of you have online accounts you no longer use. I do, too.

What the best way to get those online accounts completely removed?

For example… I used to use AT&T services for a landline and for cell service, but haven’t had either service for 7 years. When I contacted AT&T today, I was told, “I apologize but we do not have option to do that, but rest assured that all your data are already deleted with us if the account is cancelled and your access idd will only be accessible on your end.” I replied, “I've seen too many data breaches lately to believe that it is not accessible.” and they replied, “I understand but we assure you that all of these are already handled and the access points on those hacks are already identified and manage, no personal information like ssn, id or private data was released during the breach. Rest assured that there is no more option to access your account even here with us.” I asked how to escalate the issue, and they closed the chat.
