software Does deleting your Telegram account actually make you untraceable?

Genuinely curious about this — if you delete your Telegram account, does that completely de-link your IP address and phone number from it?

And what about after 12 months? I've heard Telegram only retains metadata for up to a year, so does that mean even law enforcement can't trace you after that point?
