1What “deleted with the account” means here

Deletion with the account means the files go when the account goes. It says nothing about a licence already granted, which the terms treat separately.

2Other tools with this reading

Kling AI, Krea and SceneMixer have the same reading, which makes 4 of the 24 tools.

This is how the clause reads on its face; how a court would read it is a separate matter.

3Why it matters for a book

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.
