It doesn't cover untagging, from I gather. Also, you can run it at 16x speed. It "deleted" ~15 years of history for me in less than an hour. And yes, it does miss a few things.

Do you really believe that it's completely deleted? My theory is that you can delete all you want, they still have it.

No, and I'm pretty sure the parent commenter doesn't either. It's why I put "deleted" in double quotes, as the above comment did.

Using the "Hide" button instead of the "Delete" button I think works on untagging.

It hides it from _your_ timeline, but the backlink to your profile still remains. You have to actually untag it.
