# Delete a Nostr post versus erase an identity: two very different requests

A publication-cleanup decision sheet distinguishing a request to delete specific posts from a request that relays erase an entire identity's stored events. It explains the limits of both approaches and why removing an event from one relay isn't a promise that nobody else kept it.

The unlock includes a dated technical reference, task-specific decision steps, and a reusable record template. It does not claim to perform the work or guarantee the outcome.
