I wonder if Xanga really deletes our photos when we "delete" them from our Photo Manager?

You know, everyone once in a while posts an embarrassing pic in a stupid moment and then wants to efface it, right?

So what's the fate of that photo?  To disappear from Xanga altogether with no further reference possible?

Or to stay intact on Xanga's photo server ready to be served up to anyone who happened to copy the original link?

If you really own your own data on Xanga and Xanga really respects your privacy it will be deleted, right?

The following is a test to see if Xanga actually believes that you own your personal data.   If, below, you see me hugging a tree, a photo I have deleted from my Photoblog and have expunged in every way available to me, then Xanga is hugging your photos, too, longer than it should. 

Update: the pic keeps coming and going, sometimes showing, sometimes not found.  So I've uploaded and deleted the same pic twice to see if maybe, just maybe, Xanga is deleting the pic on some primary server but retaining it on some clustered replicate for some period of time.
