So according to you Google will propagate deletes, but you don't know how/if its deleted from cold/offline/long term storage?

I'm very confident that the data is fully removed, because properly deleting data within NN days is treated as very serious internally. But I don't know the details of how it's done for cold storage.

(I would love to see someone subpoena something deleted, say, 1y ago and write up whether it was produced.)
