It’s a placebo delete, anyway.

That delete button does not connect directly to the DB to delete the record.

All the delete button really does is to flag the account 'deleted'. It does not delete the underlying data.

Wonder if the placebo delete will meet the new requirements of the EU GDPR law...

So in actuality, you’d be better off to go in....change the real data to fake data...rather than deleting?
