Actually I think that an extra step is required to fully "delete" while the standard procedure only "deactivate" accounts. I've permanently delete back in 2014 but actually needed a "ghost account" in 2016 to access some FB walled garden content. I used the same email as my former one and data was gone, no restauration was proposed. (However friend suggestion based on email showed up due to some probable shadow account).

I did similar with a good 6 years between and with two different emails on different domains and it's friends suggestions both in it's own app and Instagram (not linked to FB account but sharing an email) manage to reference people I only ever knew during the time of the first account and never even interacted with on Facebook. e.g a guy I interned for 10 years ago who I never spoke to/added on FB keeps showing up in my Insta suggestions. It's actually a bit unnerving and makes me worry who my account is suggested to.

  Those people probably have your email in an inbox Facebook slurped (possibly as a CC or something)
