 * Using WordPress tools > erase personal data I can see this erases personal data
   from Woocommerce orders associated with a particular email address – good! However
   it doesn’t erase personal data from an account if they created one 🙁
 * I had a look at the ‘delete me’ plugin – it will delete an account but not the
   personal data connected with orders in woocommerce 🙁
 * From a customers point of view what is the method to delete both their account
   and order info?

 * [@barryruss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/barryruss/) – The `Erase Personal
   Data` function is built into WordPress, not WooCommerce. It’s explained in the
   Codex that accounts are not automatically deleted:
 * > When erasing user data, this tool does not automatically delete registered 
   > users and their profile data. Administrators should perform that step themselves
   > after successfully erasing personal data for a registered user. User deletion
   > is available for each user in the Users menu in the Dashboard.

 * You can delete the account manually after performing the erasure.
