I think this depends on the actual semantics of the delete. If the operation is truly non-recoverable, and you simply lie about doing it and do it after a delay, there is a chance you will be caught in that lie when your process is cancelled or failed for whatever reason. That is a worse user experience by far - you should never tell someone something has been done unless you are sure it has been done permanently.
