   @raphaelmorgan it depends on the software used and cleaning routines.

   There are also modified software that does not respect delete commands.

   So this varies very much. It can take a while before the cache is purged, if at all.

   Here every night a script is run in order to clean posts from users that have no relationship, did not interact, orphaned media and the like.

   But this is because I dug the documentation and found the Mastodon commands.

     If I had an old account on a server that's been deleted for like 2 years now, how likely is it that those posts are still floating around somewhere in another server's cache? If I delete posts from this account, how long are they likely to stay in other servers' caches? I frankly have no idea how any of this works I'm just spitting out buzz words from other posts I've seen
