I'm not very tech savvy so bare with me. I want to remove all my posts and private conversations that I have had online. Will deleting all accounts and resetting my computer to factory default work?
What conversations? Do you mean like this website or social media sites like Facebook or Twitter?
This website, emails, posts on reddit, and conversations on discord are what come to mind.
Instead of resetting computer, you can fully encrypt your HDD/SSD with disk encryption tools (Truecrypt/Veracrypt) and keep password in your memory only. Before ctb you should turn off the computer (it is important to turn it off, sleep/hibernate mode is unacceptable) and all data will be inaccessible to others. However, if something goes wrong and you survive, you won't lose your data.I'm not very tech savvy so bare with me. I want to remove all my posts and private conversations that I have had online.

But how do you plan on CTB without people knowing that you committed suicide?I'm not very tech savvy so bare with me. I want to remove all my posts and private conversations that I have had online. Will deleting all accounts and resetting my computer to factory default work?

I don't want to hide that I suicided. Family and police can dig into your online life after you commit suicide, I don't want my family reading private conversations. I don't want police to be looking through my stuff.
I'm just going to delete all accounts and the email accounts associated with them, then destroy my phone.
It definitely seems more appealing but also complicated, how do you even do that on a phone? I'm not very computer or tech savvy though.given the failure/people who dont go through with it encrypting might be more appealing

reformat hard drives then smash them into pieces + bury them somewhere they will not be found
what about smartphone?
To encrypt smartphone is easier than to encrypt computer because encryption is a built-in option on both Android and iOS (at least in new versions of these operation systems), you have just to turn it on and create your password, then wait until process of encryption completes.It definitely seems more appealing but also complicated, how do you even do that on a phone?
