It’s a practice called soft-deletion. The idea is that you flip a “deletion” flag on customer data and record the date of the deletion request. After some time, typically 30 days, a garbage-collection cron job will identify your data as having been “soft-deleted” N days prior, and then permanently wipe your data from their servers. This gives people a chance to restore their data in case they accidentally moved it to the trash or change their mind soon after.

The word you want is “razed” (instead of “raised”).
