Just delete the things when requested. No need to make it more complicated than that.

When requested by who? The current owner of the domain? Do they own what was on that domain 20 years ago?

What if you lost your domain, but owned it in the past? Can you delete stuff from that era?

I’ve requested old domains of mine to get removed from archive.org and at least as of a few years ago it was an all or nothing thing. There was no surgical way to say “only remove content from between 1995 and 2005 when I owned the domain”. Maybe things have changed since then, though.
