All actions (except for user deletion), including deleting, removing, etc are reversible.
We have an issue for allowing admins to purge content from the DB. The reason for not allowing users to do this, is a community is usually filled with not just your content, but posts, comments from many other users. A DB delete would delete all that data.
Honestly, I think it’s better to delete all the data than to maintain a “ghost” community: example https://lemmy.ml/c/testi. The same applies to “deleted” comments.
