I remember first hand trying to explain to people
During Iran Contra, that when you 'delete' a message from the White House Office Vision mail system, it doesn't delete it. It marks it for deletion. This is why Reagan &co got caught. They 'deleted' their emails which were easily retrieved. This was actually changed after the fact, but
I believe there was a court case that determined that the executive branch couldn't do perform hard delete DoD compliant scrubs on the fly except under extraordinary circumstances.
