Today I stumbled upon a long-forgotten social media account I hadn't used in five years. It made me wonder: why are we so bad at digital housekeeping?
Turns out, deleting accounts is often harder than creating them. Some services demand ID scans, others impose 30-day 'cooling off' periods—all while your data continues sitting on their servers. Here's my strategy: every six months, audit all services where you've ever registered. Purge unnecessary accounts without sentimentality—treat it like pre-move decluttering.
