I deleted a topic over an hour ago. It still shows up in the API and as a slug in the URL. I just want it permanently removed.

Did you log at it in the ux? It says that it’ll be deleted in a day unless flagged. It keeps someone from saying something hurtful and then having no record of it. I believe that if you delete it as admin that restriction doesn’t apply.

I am the admin. I would like to know if I can purge the posts. I’m creating test posts testing the API. They are going to litter my forum if I can’t delete them. I was able to delete a bunch of posts yesterday with very little delay. Also I have not seen that message anywhere in the UI.

Good idea. Thanks. But I still feel it is very strange not to be able to get rid of posts when I need to.

I think that Enable setting to allow admins to permanently delete data has been added since this topic was created. Maybe that solves this problem.

Pourquoi faut-il si longtemps pour qu'un sujet soit supprimé ?

Bonne idée. Merci. Mais je trouve toujours très étrange de ne pas pouvoir supprimer les publications quand j’en ai besoin.
