Ja, that's what I mean by the .01% not sure but it would make sense it follows the same rules. While my code was active the data/stats were linked to my account, once I deleted the site from my account no further data was collected, and they could obviously not collect any stats until they created and installed their own as the IDs are unique.
So to test this I just removed an old site that is long since dead from my GA account. And this is what it says:
"Don't forget to remove the Analytics JavaScript code snippet from all your pages so that your site doesn't continue to accrue data. Once you click 'Delete' at the bottom of this page, you won't have access to your reports and they can't be reinstated."
Once removed, you have to generate new codes as the old ones are unlinked, I couldn't "re-activate" the old code. So once you remove the site it's gone for good. I would have to re-verify and install a new code. So I'm pretty confident your code, that they still have on the site, while it may still be collecting data for Google, that data is not linked to your GA account so anything they do won't affect your other sites.
