If they are required to "destroy" the data, how can they restore it after proving age using a government ID?

I thought that too, but perhaps only personal data is deleted irrecoverably, allowing them to retrieve other/periphery account data; maybe an account's "fans" aren't considered personal data, for instance? I'm not familiar with TikTok, admittedly.

Otherwise, perhaps there was some delay on account deletion?

A 30 day delay on deletion is commonplace
