Google forgets. I cannot find any of my social media stuff from 15 years ago. There weren't many walled gardens back then. Everything was open to indexing and yet it no longer seems to exist.

The fact that you can no longer publicly access the information is not proof that Google lost the data.

In other contexts "Google does not forget" means what can be found through web search, but here the grandparent was using a broader meaning, closer to "once shared, data is no longer yours".

That’s not what OP was talking about. OP is talking about the reemergence of personal Google data he/she deleted, not a de-indexed search result for a website that is offline.
