Describe the bug

I once published some content that inadvertently exposed my private information, so I deleted the post. To my surprise, a friend told me the post was still visible in Folo.
I thoroughly inspected my XML file to ensure it didn’t contain any sensitive data. I suspect Folo retains a complete history of all my posts, and I’m concerned about the potential for this historical data to be exploited. I hope Folo will introduce a feature that allows site administrators to purge their browsing history.

Research direction

The report names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by identifying where Folo stores and refreshes feed history, then determine whether deleted posts remain in persisted data or cache. Done means defining and validating a supported way for site administrators to purge retained history without leaving the deleted content visible.
