Not saying it's the best course of action, but I've definitely left some accounts in the graveyards of the internet because the effort of deleting them was more than it was worth to me.
Depending on how Myspace handled their old data when they changed directions long ago, teenage me may or may not still have an account.
The problem is, around 2017, I discovered the errors of my past ways, and am trying to go completely free software. I don't want my pictures associated with facebook, even if it is inactive. But, yeah, they really don't like to delete accounts, which makes this even more unsettling for me.
