Does deleting a Google account also remove non-public data that you haven't openly shared, such as search records and Android-related GPS data?

Another commenter's reply (which has been marked dead) brought up a great point about the value of this information for people in the future.

I want and expect privacy now and for the near future, but when my (future) grandchildren's grandchildren are gone (hell, not even that far from now), that information being aired publicly won't hurt me and could reasonably provide the future some benefit.
