They will delete the account, not the data.
Thanks GDPR

Can't they delete the contents of an account after backing it up to some server somewhere that only they have access to?
From TFA, they delete the data.
Of course they will remove the data. If they kept the data while removing the users ability to delete it they would get a record breaking fine for Christmas.
Besides they don't actually care about individual data after they finish processing it, they just care about the resulting aggregate data. Wasting money keeping the emails that they don't need would be cartoon villain level of stupid.
If they anonymize the data so that it's no longer possible to identify you GDPR allows them to keep the data.
