Reported from the shared free instance. A client deleted their own account on 2026-09-18. Their five files kept serving through share links with no expiry for the whole 30-day grace period. Somebody who asked to leave stayed published. Rule 1: once an account is soft-deleted, its uploads are served to nobody but staff. That covers the client scope (assignment, group, shared folder), share links, the public listing, public comments and zips. Staff keep them, because the grace period exists to undo a mistake. Nothing is deleted and share links are kept, so a restored account is served again. A withdrawn share link answers like a token that never existed. In practice this only meets self-deleted accounts: an administrator deleting an account that owns anything must already choose to delete or reassign it. Rule 2, new in Privacy settings: when someone deletes their own account, their files are deleted "when the grace period ends" (the default, and today's behaviour) or "right away". "Right away" uses DeletedAccountContent's cascade: their own uploads, and their folders only if nothing else is left inside. It runs in the same transaction as the account delete. A platform can force "right away" through the new ResolvingSelfDeletion hook. The screen then shows the choice as set by the hosting plan instead of offering a switch. A second setting decides whose deletion both rules apply to: any account (the default) or clients only. A staff member's uploads are often the organization's work for its clients. The delete-account screen now says what happens to the files before the person confirms. New strings are in all sixteen locales.
