No, in fact it will leave a Bankruptcy record on your credit report for 10 years.
Bankruptcies are a matter of public record and this is why they appear in credit histories. A Chapter 13 listing will remain on your credit report for seven years from the filing date and a Chapter 7 will remain on the credit report for 10 years from the filing date. The credit report entry will state the bankruptcy was filed and dismissed, not discharged.
It depends on what type, but the typical bankruptcy will be on your record for 7 years.
No. Filing a bankruptcy creates a public record that does not go away because you did not complete the bankruptcy. - once you file and get a case number you have filed for bankruptcy. if you didn't follow through and it got dismissed is regardless. you still filed for bankruptcy and it will still be on your credit report.
The credit accounts will appear in the credit portion of your report for seven years from their date of last activity. The legal item will appear in the public record portion for 10 years from the date of its' discharge.

Bankruptcies are not supposed to be included on a credit report 10 years after it was filed. There is nothing to prevent someone from accessing bankruptcy court records, newspaper reports of bankruptcy filing, etc., at any time. Most employers and credit-granting entities will just look at the credit reports.

A Chapter 13 bankruptcy will remain on a person's credit report for the required ten years not seven.
Bankruptcy will always be on your credit scoring record. After the bankruptcy is discharged it will have a less negative effect, and then after 6 years it is supposed to be considered done with and you get get a mortgage, loans etc. However, having a bankruptcy on your record will always have some negative effect even after the 6 years are up. Bankruptcies are maintained on a credit report for at least 10 years.

No. Ten years from discharge. The record pf the filing and is actually available longer, as a public court record, should anyone care to look.
Yes converting a Chapter 13 to a 7 will further lower your credit score. It will show up on the public records section at the begining of the credit report. Once as an terminated chapter 13 and a second public record showing the filing of the Chapter 7. Each public record reduces your score. You can potentially be discharged from a Chapter 7 sooner and that's will be the time the clock will start ticking to eventually make it disappear from your credit report which I believe is 7 years for most derogatory entries
It all depends on the employer, usually after seven years a bankruptcy is clear from your record, even though someone has a bankruptcy in their record they can try to get credit to begin to improve their credit.
