erasing existence of internet profiles
« on: September 27, 2008, 01:52:56 AM »
I want to find a program that will find every profile, post, etc from any user name, email, etc that I have ever had and destroy all traces of it from the internet completely. However, I also want to be able to pick and chose so that I can keep my current emails, also so I won't delete someone else's profiles/etc while doing it.

Does anybody know anything that is close to this at all?

Thanks

Fury

Delete all internet posts, emails from other accounts, not possible.

Why do you want to do this?

my ex is finding all sorts of stuff I had on forums and stuff from the past few yeas and then shows them to his ex, then when she gets to see them they start fighting then he blames me. I'm tired of it all so I want to delete everything I have ever done on the internet. So far I have deleted my profiles and stuff but my posts still exist

This is impossible. You would have to physically destroy every computer and every server that your data has ever touched. Maybe, in twenty years time, if you send no more Emails and no more posts then it will all be completely destroyed.

For example if you upload a picture, it will be cached on every computer that goes to the website, and it might even be copied to other websites and/or computers.
Forum posts will also be cached on, for example, google and cannot be deleted unless they do so.

    Why would your ex show your stuff to his ex and why would anyone care if everyone is an ex ???

    Consider anything posted on the internet to be part of the permanent public record.

    Consider any email written to be part of the permanent public record.

      It seems to me, that with the anonymity of the Web, one is who one isn't more often than one is who one is.

      Ditto.

      A hint... When you break up with someone you also change screen names and email address well and hopefully long before meeting someone new.

          Your internet presence is stored on the servers that hold the sites you've been to, not your own PC. So, it's impossible to totally destroy your online presence yourself.

          What you can do is email the administrator of the most problematic sites you've been on and ask that your account be removed (if you can't do it yourself through your User Control Panels). Other than that, you may be SOL, my friend.
