How realistic is a request to delete all my account information and stop processing my personal information?

Question

Law in IT

Against the background of all the past hysteria around the GDPR. Can I and how successful will my request to VK be to delete all stored information about me (and this is all correspondence, pictures, videos, even deleted ones)?
I heard that everyone around is denied, or is it all real?

Answer 1

VKontakte has an option to delete an account. Take advantage of it. And in six months there will be no information left. Of course, not counting any web archives that will remember your public activities forever.
Theoretically, it is difficult to say where else the information will settle. For example, the FSB can request data about you from VKontakte before the expiration of 6 months - and store them forever.
Vk itself does not make sense to store deleted data for longer than 6 months, because. they are not required to do so. In addition, they declare the impossibility of recovering data after the expiration date, which, as it were, hints at irretrievable deletion.

Answer 2

For every GDPR, there is a resolution No. 728 .
