Your digital footprint will always be online no matter how hard you try and delete everything. A lot of the time your digital footprint shows a lot of who you are as a person, if you are a person that parties plenty or goes out and will post everything and anything from those events without caring it may affect your future, you could lose friendships from something you’ve posted years back and regret it now.
