If you are in the EU, you should be able to force them to delete your account by filing a GDPR request.

Also, while I don't think it's nearly as comprehensive as the GDPR, I believe people who live in California can do something similar under the California Consumer Privacy Act.

You should file a gdpr data request before you delete your account. Even in big corps, those requests can be a real PITA. And of course, mine will be followed by a redact session and a gdpr deletion request.
