When you have deleted it does Google still find something about it? And if you have deleted images before, have you find any of them with Google Image search?

Re: Have you ever deleted your MySpace- account?

once the account is deleted and presumably no longer accessible, google will not "find" any information about the account. However, since Google probably already had the account/page(s) indexed, it will continue to make that information available via search (and visible via the Google cache) until Google realizes it is gone, and safe to remove. So, your account will still be visible in Google searches & cache for at least a few months after you delete the account.

Re: Have you ever deleted your MySpace- account?

If I delete it, is it gone from MySpace servers too? I have heard that deleted images can be there over a month.

And there is one thing too, what I have been wondering. If I change user name (not account name) at MySpace does the former name be deleted or overwritten? Or does MySpace keep them somewhere in their server?

Re: Have you ever deleted your MySpace- account?

When you upload photos to myspace, you give them permission to use the photos however they want. That means once you post it up they can keep it forever. Will they? Probably not. But theres unfortunately nothing you can do about it.

As for changing your username- do you mean the name on top of your profile photo? If so- thats something a lot of people change on a regular basis and ive never heard of myspace 'keeping' the information. It gets over-written on the current myspace page; that does not mean it is instantly updated in google's search engine (since i have a feeling thats your next question)

Re: Have you ever deleted your MySpace- account?

I don´t care if MySpace keeps my images. I just want that Google doesn´t find them. I have searched hours and hours in the internet to find an answer to this question but there is nothing about this topic. So I think that Google doesn´t find deleted things because if they would somebody would said something about it.

And about those usernames. I thought that too what you said. There is only one reason why MySpace would keep old usernames somewhere and that is crime investigations. If some criminal uses the same username in different places it´s easier to follow his actions. But I don´t think that´s the case. IP-addresses are more efficient way to follow people.

Google is always behind what´s really happening in the internet and that is frustrating. But like you said everything is still refreshed after few months. It would be just stupid to keep old links and images there forever.
