I shared my personal id's & passport on email. Please help!

Privacy Questions
1

Hey, I recently started my privacy journey & I found that I had shared my govt ids, passport & some personal docs on gmail to family & meta , linkedin, brokerage, bank ++ for verification & kyc.
In some images, I’m the person holding my gov’t id’s & passport for verification.
Now, I’m really scared after gaining some knowledge about privacy.

I was thinking deleting all the emails & then deleting google account might be helpful. But, I don’t think google will delete it from their server & also meta + others won’t delete it plus it will still exist in my family members inbox.

So, what’s the best way to handle it.
Please help me & guide me out of this.
Thanks in adv for the advice.

Deleting the emails is a good idea as well as asking those you sent it to, to delete them aswell. Deleting the account isn’t going to do anything. And i would advice against it. You probably have unknown accounts tight to that email and you might need the email some day to gain access.

Take your journey into privacy at a pace if the risk allows. Rushing it usually leads to driving yourself and others around you insane.
