How to disappear from the Internet

Seldom does one go on the net without eventually coming across the usual "How to" posts about virtually anything. Well, if you're trying to disengage from the online life, one of these might be helpful. In particular, you're looking for this one: how to disappear from the Internet.

Of course, the first thing you must do is deactivate completely every single website you have ever logged in, including social sites, game sites, and forums, which are a little more complicated to delete posts from as you may have only used them once or twice and may not remember exactly when, making the process long and exhausting but still worth your while. Then, you should proceed to delete photographs you may have ever been tagged in, uploaded or posted. This is paramount.

Then, after you've made sure everything related to you has been successfully eliminated, you should search your own name in Google to double-check if there's any lost pictures or forums you have forgotten. If nothing comes up, you're good to go. If not, it would do to dig in a little more until you've finished deleting everything.

There are many, many sites that provide this information much more clearly than I could possibly ever manage to, so I'm going to attach some of them:

• This is the wikihow article
• This is a very specific article
• This is the article that I've read more thoroughly

They basically say the same in different words, but some of them are more specific on some issues, so it's important to give them a read. And if it's possible, it might be even better to read everything you can about the deletion before you actually do it.
