1What this clause covers
This clause records what happens to uploads when they or the account are deleted. 4 delete content with the account, 2 keep it for a set period first, 3 keep it only within plan or storage limits, 2 keep it in some form after deletion, and 13 say nothing in the terms read.
Deletion and licence are separate. Removing a project may end the copy the tool keeps for you without ending the licence already granted, and copies others made of public work stay where they are.
