This is correct. You can't technically delete an "account". You can request all of your notes and events be deleted and your and throw away your private key and never use it again. That's it.
nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s also told me that the nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 accounts are never deleted, even though the application tells you that you can delete your account
the only way to truly 'delete' is to just get of your private keys (which I still have)
Discussion
I did request it via the delete button, and where I typed in DELETE, yet I can still see what I posted
in fact, I could still post and receive responses on a 'deleted' account
are you in Oslo now?
Yes, that's correct. There is not true delete here on Nostr. Basically, it's too decentralized and too censorship resistant to delete.
No I am not in Oslo.
that doesn't seem to comply with United States of America law
Nostr is a global protocol.
but I posted everything except what I noted in the last couple of days from the United States of America
I'm sure my Google and iPhone records would prove that
And if you absolutely needed to do so, you could contact every single relay operator where your notes and events exist, and request that they delete your data. Some may comply. But because Nostr is decentralized, your data could exist in jurisdictions outside of the USA with different laws.
that would be great, may I please have that list?
I could follow up with any in Norway while I am here, and then any back in the States when I return
