    When I delete my emails, posts, blogs where do all go to, everyday there must be billions of posts and emails getting deleted, Are they floating around somewhere waiting for a space postman to read them ?
    So where did the deleted emails go?

    Quite literally for a year or two depending on what country you/the servers are in.

    If it's a gmail account, they don't do anywhere, google retains them forever.

    They get sent to the NSA and Mossad for further analysis on their super computers. It's part of a larger plan to enslave humanity by a global elite of Freemasons, Jews, Lizard People and militarists.

    Saw this in a youtube video, so it must be true.

    They get put into a capsule and fired up into the air into oncoming russian meteors.

    They are sent out to developing countries for children to play with. That is why Microsoft pay 1 cent everytime you forward that email about the little boy who got brain cancer when that drunk driver ploughed through his house in a truck containing chemicals and wild animals. (Same goes for Facebook statuses, you should like everything..... for the children.)

    Did you know that by sending work emails can generate on a rough average of 136kg of CO2 per year per employee.:eek:

    I can only imagine that deleting them would probably cause half that amount.:eek:

    FACT.:cool:

    This reminds me of a story a friend of mine told me. His mother wasn't sure how to delete files, she thought they were stored inside the pc in a very real and physical form. So in order to delete things she would cut and paste them onto a floppy and dump them in the bin.
