[revised] How long will it take for the content in my Google+ account to be deleted?

The process of deleting content from consumer Google+ accounts, Google+ Pages, and Google+ content in Album Archive will take a few months, and content may remain through this time. For example, users may still see parts of their Google+ account via activity log and some consumer Google+ content may remain visible to G Suite users until consumer Google+ is deleted. Until your content from your Google+ account is deleted, you may be able to download and save your remaining Google+ content and delete your Google+ profile. You may also be able to view or delete your remaining Google+ activity.

  5. Edward Morbius As you know, we have to plan for the worse, but the updated language you posted above combined with other intel suggests read-only is a possibility, but just a hunch. Don’t count it.
