I remember seeing posts made on Lemmy and Reddit during the great migration where people reported this. Found this post discussing it on Reddit though it seems to be about comment/post history being saved by third parties: https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/14av2z3/reports_of_reddit_restoring_deleted_commentsposts/

    Oh, nice. Yeah, I'm fine with my content being searchable on the great uneddit databases. That's just the nature of the internet -- anything you make public should be assumed to be forever public. It sounds like my deleted content won't be making Spez advertising dollars when people search my old subreddit haunts, which was my goal in deleting my stuff in the first place.
