What stays out there
Deleting your Nextdoor account stops new activity on Nextdoor. Your name, street and neighborhood may already sit on people-search sites, and posts or comments other people copied or quoted aren't covered.
Serus finds where your details are listed and removes them from the sites and services that hold them, including people-search sites where you live. See how Serus works.
