1. Start with your records. List your own handles, public profiles and accounts you can verify through saved records.
2. Review public exposure. Inspect source pages and note personal details that reach a wider audience than intended.
3. Choose a cleanup action. Secure, edit or close confirmed accounts through official controls you can access.
4. Recheck the source. Confirm the visible change. Missing checker results do not prove that all copies disappeared.
