It's not really any different when a court orders a company to delete data that weren't supposed to have. The judge pretends he understands the plaintiffs arguments and knows what the data is and where it is stored. Later the judge tells the defendant to delete it. The defendant pretends to delete it and the court pretends to verify that something doesn't exist. Afterwards, everyone goes back to business as usual.
