If you never asked them to delete your data, then you can do that using the steps outlined in one of the links that I posted above. There is some talk about the data being sold.

It may not amount to anything or maybe there's not really any value in it, but these days, when one of the most valuable commodities is certain information about the general public, I would certainly not want any information about myself on the market if I could easily (in a few clicks) go through and delete that info.

(I never did 23&me, but don't see a problem with the folks that did. I was curious, but not enough to spend the money)
