Investigator Use
Account Killer is a directory and guide that provides direct links and instructions for deleting accounts on hundreds of websites and online services. For each listed service, it provides the difficulty rating and a direct link to the account deletion page or the contact method required to close the account.
For OSINT investigators, Account Killer serves two investigative functions. First, it is a reference for understanding which online services retain data even after a user claims to have deleted their account — for subjects who assert they have no active presence on specific platforms, Account Killer's "impossible" deletion ratings indicate that some services retain data indefinitely regardless of user deletion attempts.
Second, Account Killer helps investigators identify which account deletion mechanisms exist for specific services — understanding how accounts are deleted (immediate vs. delayed, self-service vs. contact required) informs investigators about the persistence of evidence on each platform.
For counter-OSINT analysis — assessing a subject's likely remaining digital footprint after they claim to have removed their online presence — Account Killer's service coverage and deletion difficulty ratings help assess which platforms are likely to retain data regardless of claimed deletion.
For investigators assisting clients with digital exposure reduction or operational security improvements, Account Killer provides a practical action list for reducing online presence across multiple services.
Victim support contexts include helping individuals remove their presence from platforms after harassment, stalking, or doxing incidents — Account Killer's deletion guides facilitate this process across numerous services.
The directory's difficulty ratings (easy, medium, hard, impossible) reflect how cooperative each service is in facilitating account deletion, which is itself relevant intelligence about data retention practices.
Document any specific services investigated through Account Killer, including the deletion mechanism, difficulty rating, and any relevant data retention policy findings.
