search games in closed accoun

I have closed an account and you can still search my games in advanced search. Searching by closed username.
I have sent an email and first they reply that it is not possible and after sending them screenshots, they tell me that oh, yes it is possible.
I'm not saying that games are deleted for statistical reasons, just that due to confidentiality they are not accessible from a closed user.
Please clarify your question, people may not be responding because there is nothing to respond to
Closed accounts’ games are indeed available via advanced search, it’s intended. Accounts and games and tethered to each other in the database. The way I see it, it’s not an intrusion of privacy, and to hide opening prep and such you can always open a private account that wouldn’t be linked to your real life identity.
I'm not even going to tell you that games on other chess sites also remain available even after the account is closed
