    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.

        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
