It's been confirmed that Google has now deleted all personal data it collected from WiFi users in the UK - six months after the security breach was first revealed.
The data was collected by its Street View camera cars as they were collecting information for Google Maps. It included WiFi addresses, passwords, snippets of emails and web-browsing history.
Google has always maintained the information was collected by mistake and has apologised.
The confirmation of the deletion has come from the UK Information Commissioner's Office.
Google has angered many governments with its Street View data collection mistake and is facing possible lawsuits in the United States.
