I suspect this as well, which is why I deleted my G+ account in protest the other day. It was remarkably easy to do, both practically (just click a couple buttons) and sentimentally (in ~2 years there has rarely been any activity from any of my contacts, and I follow most of them on Twitter anyway). I've heard people hem and haw over deleting their Facebook account; G+ offers no such difficulty.

I have too much bound up on gmail to risk closing my account and may be one of the ten people world wide who actually use G+, although not that often.

Could you detail what actually gets deleted? The support page [1] is brief on details and I'm especially interested if it deletes photo albums which were originally uploaded via Picassa

AFAIK only G+ related things are deleted. I don't use Picassa, but my Gmail, Drive, YouTube, Wallet, Play Store, etc accounts are all unaffected.
