    23andMe has a “request data deletion” feature. I don’t know if it actually works, but it’s worth a try if you’re worried about it.

      Yep, I had my data deleted. They told me so, but I don’t for a second believe it.

      They don’t actually delete anything. They will throw the physical samples away but retain your entire identified genetic code.

      There’s a better source out there but I can’t find it atm. They hide behind an obscure FDA rule. Something about retaining genetic data for 20 years no matter what or something.

      I assume that all of that is dishonest.
