Ask HN: Why is X (Twitter) undeleting deleted content?

5 pointsby de6u99er22 days ago
I have already deleted everything multiple times, but the platform seems to undelete most of it after a certain amount of time. That&#x27;s the only reason why I haven&#x27;t deleted my account yet.<p>Is there a technical reason why this keeps happening? Or is it just the platform or it&#x27;s owner trying to pretend inactive users are still active to avoid more users leaving for alternatives?

my account was suspended and all its content deleted after a while (i can still log in though)...you could try publishing content they might consider against their rules

I&#x27;ve not experienced this myself, but this is a good reminder to do and delete all my content there (after redownloading all my data from them again)
