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.

Por que leva tanto tempo para um tópico ser excluído?

Eu acho que Habilitar configuração para permitir que administradores excluam dados permanentemente foi adicionado desde que este tópico foi criado. Talvez isso resolva este problema.
