That's an excellent question, deleting information in a safe, efficient and legal manner is a surprisingly intricate process. The Gmail Privacy Policy has a good working summary:
"Residual copies of deleted messages and accounts may take up to 60 days to be deleted from our active servers and may remain in our offline backup systems."
