    So, in this instance, “deletes” means “removed from external access”, eh? Clever.

      Seems like it!

      In most cases with web services like this, "delete" doesn't even mean "delete", the files remain on the backup servers for some time.

        That’s what I mean. Especially since it’s after the related lawsuit, FFS. This is completely a CYA move, nothing more. They’re just making sure it’s harder to sue them for the same shit and win. 🤬
