To have your account erased as opposed to "deactivated" (which doesn't really do anything) the surefire method is to spam gore images on popular groups.

I'm pretty sure even then they don't actually delete your data. They just make it impossibly for you to reactivate your account.

Interestingly I've read an anecdote that in the EU you can write them and say "Either delete my account or return my access to it.", and because they don't/can't delete accounts...
