I assume that the account is not usable after this. So it is a logical delete and the physical delete is scheduled. I don’t know what would be a better way to phrase it, that would not confuse the users.
I am not trying to defend google, I just had similar UX issues at work.
Correct. Google is banking on users getting withdrawl and crawling back. They all do the same thing, like Meta products. They give you 30 days before deletion because they know most people are addicted and will recover their accounts.
Could be, but it’s more likely that the delete gets put into a message queue and gets processed when the deletion service can handle it. These large deletions are computationally expensive.
Its similar to why the exports take so long to process
🙄
At least write “is scheduled to be deleted” to make the lie not as obvious.
