## Description

So [Case 175](https://edit.tosdr.org/cases/175) is worded as follows:

> _You can delete your content from this service_

And the description:

> _You can ask the service to remove your content at any time, and it’s deleted within a reasonable time._

But I’m not 100% certain on how to interpret that wording. Does “deleting your content” also entail deletion of personal data? Or only User-generated content?  
If it is the latter, perhaps we should reword it to specify User-generated content to avoid possible confusions.

I am having this issue because I’ve come accross, and made myself, points that entail erasure of personal data, really.

What are your thoughts?

Bumping in case people missed this.

In my opinion, this Case does not really delineate User-Generated Content and personal data.

However, [Case 195](https://edit.tosdr.org/cases/195) already exists for the deletion of personal data, and other cases worded like this one only concern User-Generated Content (i.e. [Case 134](https://edit.tosdr.org/cases/134), [Case 139](https://edit.tosdr.org/cases/139),[Case 179](https://edit.tosdr.org/cases/179), etc.).

So, unless we plan to rephrase those other Cases as well, this Case’s wording is appropriate.

@ThePainofTOS I agree with rephrasing it. Do you have any ideas in mind?
