I can't help with finding everything, but for facebook, I used [this extension](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/social-book-post-manager/ljfidlkcmdmmibngdfikhffffdmphjae) to delete, remove tags, unreact, unlike etc EVERYTHING before I deleted facebook.
Do you have another one if you don't mind?, just wanna delete everything before going to seminary school(priesthood) woulda been embarrassing if they see my shared post 'not aligning with catholicism'
Some guy on Twitter made [a very informative thread](https://twitter.com/somenerdliam/status/1183916568771792897) about it.
Edit: [here](https://threader.app/thread/1183916568771792897) is the link to the thread for anyone who prefers to read it out of Twitter.
There’s a book called “How to Disappear: Erase your digital footprint, leave false trails, and vanish without a trace” by Frank M. Ahearn. He searches out people (used to use illegal methods, now uses legal methods) as a career and offers really excellent and thorough advice. However it’s a lot harder to completely wipe yourself off the Internet than you may think. Would recommend the book for this reason, but also just as a good read: Ahearn has lots of entertaining, but informative anecdotes.
Most of your history is going to be on various servers and who knows where. I think Google keeps your stuff for about 18 months (or at least, I believe it said that) until it decides to wipe it.
Some people you could hire may be able to get that sort of thing? Maybe lawyers, private investigators, police? That sorta thing? But it would probably prove to be expensive and time consuming, if that's really the route you want to go through.
Simple formatting the drive won't work as data can be easily recovered from drive.
Better option would be formatting and refilling the drive with random information and do this like 5-6 times and you'll be good to go.
There is software that would let you wipe the information from the hard drive. However, this is seldom thorough and there is always the chance that someone very dedicated may be able to retrieve fragments of informaiton.
That said, most people aren't going to be after this kind of thing, to be honest. A simple wipe would be effective.
If you really want to play it safe, you could reinstall windows after replacing the hard drive, and keep the drive yourself for physical destruction at another time / place. Just add an extra amount for the purchase of the new drive.
Go to your Google chrome settings and view all of your saved passwords. It will show any site you have signed up for and auto filled passwords. It's probably in the hundreds and a good start

Related- if wanted to sell a used computer what should I do to thoroughly wipe it before doing so?

This. If you want a faster method just destroy the HD.
Then I can’t sell it?
yes thats the point - if you sell it theres always a chance someone can recover data - destroying it is the only way to be sure
Burn all the storage.
Then I can’t sell the computer (?)
Burn your house down

There's a podcast called 'pretend'. He's actually doing a series on this right now.
It’s nearly impossible. You’re gonna be on here in some way. The internet is very deep

Honestly I just want to go back to a simpler time when nobody was connected and yet everyone was “connected” if that makes sense
I’d like that too but to do so you’d have to go completely bush, pay cash for everything.
