Something is afoot over there. I updated and then removed all comments, like, everything on my account, and then deleted the account a few days ago. And now its back with the previous comment I updated everything to intact. They did some form of rollback.

This sounds like a missive violation of EU laws.
Wow. I used a tool the other day to delete everything as well. I'll check my comments now. Be great if everyone else here could do so as well and report back. If they did, indeed, do a rollback that is serious malfeasance.
My comments are all still deleted.
Wow you aren’t kidding, I did the same the other day and mine appear to be back as well.
Something similar happened to me during the great yahoo hack. My email stayed compromised even across password changes, so I deleted my account. So the person taking it over undid that then updated the recovery information. I was never able to regain control of that account that I'm certain spams my contact list to this day.

After that I stopped deleting accounts. I maintain a firm grip on every one, even ones I never plan to use again (including facebook and reddit).
