I usually fill my account details with garbage data before deleting my account. That way, even if they don't actually delete it, it's useless to them, and keeps me out of it.
I do the same for accounts that cannot be deleted or closed (so, sooo many sites).
Using temporary emails is great for this, especially with places that you know you don't care about, then just break the link. Granted for very nefarious things there will probably still be a link back to you via the provider.
