23andMe | Your DNA Was SOLD | What To Do NOW.

How people can delete their 23andMe data
  23andMe has an automated account deletion process inside account settings.

Practical steps, in human terms:

1. Log in, go to Account Settings.
    
    
2. Find the 23andMe Data section.
    
    
3. Download your data first if you want a copy.
    
    
4. Choose the option to permanently delete data, then confirm via the email they send.

If you previously opted into research or sharing, also revoke those permissions. Public officials explicitly urged users to delete accounts and withdraw consent during the bankruptcy news cycle.

Important fine print, because reality always has fine print
  Deleting your account can stop future use and sharing under their systems, but it may not rewind research that already used de identified or aggregated data, and some information may be retained where required by law or for legitimate obligations.

What happens to DNA test samples now
  Their own privacy disclosures say you control whether your saliva sample is stored (biobanked) or discarded after testing, and you can request destruction at any time, but it’s irreversible once done.

During the bankruptcy sale, the buyer committed to maintaining existing privacy policies and user choices like deletion and opt outs. That’s the promise on paper, which is better than nothing, but still not the same as “your DNA can never become an asset.”
