Hi Brad, some systems just "soft delete" items in their database/configuration, as in, they mark them as deleted with a field, without fully removing the information for some time. This allows recovery in case of removal by mistake (for example, there are other reasons).
But GeoServer does nothing like that, once something it's deleted from the config, it's completely gone.
