I know a lot of companies just keep your account including your password in there database while you removed your account.

Can I be sure my account was totally removed when I removed my LinkedIn account? Because the "please change your password as soon as possible" won't help me much.

As long as:

1. They do not have a mechanism to resurrect your account and 2. You do not use the same password elsewhere

then it should not matter.
