If it’s an _admin_ performing deleting, there’s an admin operation to :garbage: Delete all posts for a user.

You might need to adjust other settings first to permit this (`delete all posts max`).

I certainly hope this isn’t the actual API key for your site. As previously noted, it’s pretty easy to figure out what your site actually is.

You should consider this key burned and rotate it.
