I posted on a topic, it was removed, but my icon still shows in the topic list.
I’d expect my icon to be removed.

If I recall correctly there is a job that handles this, and it only runs twice a day. So the data isn’t necessarily “real-time”.

the icon is still there.. maybe the job isn’t running right?

Took me a while to figure this one out. Our job to ensure data was consistent wasn’t taking into account the situation where a value would be set to nothing (like a deletion). This would only happen on short topics like the one you found. Thanks for letting me know:
