What stays out there
Deleting your Myspace account stops Myspace from holding a live profile for you. It doesn't reach the copies other companies already have. Old photos and posts that were indexed by search engines or copied elsewhere years ago can still turn up.
People-search sites and data brokers (companies that collect and sell personal info) build their own profiles from public records and scraped pages, and they keep them whether or not you close an account here. Search engines can also keep showing cached results for a while.
Serus finds where your details are listed and removes them. You can run a free scan to see what's out there.
