Why does deleting a post not actually delete it? (lemmy.world)

I'm still new to how lemmy works exactly but why does trying to delete a post not actually remove it? It's still fully viewable so are you not able to delete posts on here at all? I'm a bit confused.

If a post is marked as deleted, it's only visible to you. You can undelete it if you want to.

When your account is deleted, it is removed permanently (as permanently as it can be when federation is involved).
