Does it delete shadow profiles as well or just information gleaned from the account itself?

Considering they won't give you any real data they have on you via the 'download your data' function they've had for a while; I highly doubt it.

Seems more like a PR move than anything to me.

There are leaks, the contacts.html file shows some evidence of the kind of record-linkage they must do to build shadow profiles.
