I don't know what really happens when you click the delete button but I assume it does what is says. Why would they offer to delete the data and then not do so?

I don't know what really happens when you click the delete button but I assume it does what is says. Why would they offer to delete the data and then not do so? Some intern finding out about that would cause a PR disaster and maybe even legal trouble. Doesn't seem worth it, they could have just not added the feature then.
