Why might the "frozen" error occur, and what steps should users take next?

The "frozen" error might occur if your attempt to delete your account has timed out, meaning the deletion process wasn’t completed properly. If you try to sign back in and receive this error, it indicates that the account was not fully deleted. To resolve this, you should reach out to SoundCloud's Support team using the contact button provided in the article to get assistance in fully removing your account from the platform.

What is the typical time frame for account deletion, and what should users expect?

Once you delete your account, it is placed into a queue for deletion and will be removed in due time. The article does not specify an exact timeline, but if the deletion process fails and your account isn’t deleted as expected, it’s important to contact the Support team for further help.

How long does it take for my profile and image to be removed from Google Searches?

Once an account has been successfully deleted via your SoundCloud settings, Google should reflect this within a couple of days (which can take longer in some cases), we can't directly influence how long they store information for searches. You could also try this public removal form.
