Maybe it should be called recall. There should be more transparency for the user about how it is handled by relays and clients.
Oh, you’re right…
Looking at https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/09.md
The specs says: “Relays SHOULD delete or stop publishing any referenced events that have an identical id as the deletion request. Clients SHOULD hide or otherwise indicate a deletion status for referenced events.”

then we get "total recall" and Schwarzenegger comes in with an exploding head... :D
*thinks carefully before submitting this note forever*
