That's useless: any decent algorithm can guess what's the right birth
date by looking at past "happy birthday" messages, personal chats or
classmates even without AI.

Also I'm not sure it's possible to delete stuff from their servers
permanently.

The best thing to do is to close ("deactivate", really) the account and
forget about it.
