Anyone wish you could nuke your internet history/accounts?

Like, lets say you have 1000 accounts to 1000 different websites over the course of 10 years but now only use say 100.

There's certain websites out there that doesn't allow you to change your email address or delete your account.

That always irks me. Not being able to delete my own account. I don't like my personal info out there, even if it's 'just' an email address. Been hacked before & I'm more cautious now. So the answer is, Yes. But if I know I'm not going to use a site anymore, I delete my account if it's applicable.

Why would I want to nuke them? I don't think that it's something logical to do because there was a good reason why I had them in the first place.

Can't this already be done through the Internet browser? Unless you're talking about what the ISP logs. I'm not sure how long until they prune their data.

Anyway, it's a lot of work but it is possible. Just go through your old emails, find your accounts and contact the admin to delete the data. 

If the site admin is inactive and does not check their emails at some point, there's a high chance that the domain or hosting will expire over time and the site will go offline.

Some websites/forums let you self-delete your account without an admin's approval as well.

Having your browser history nuked is as easy as anything. You can just go to settings and have it ripped off the face of the device that you are making use of.
