In Brazil and the USA, 'deleted records' is standard terminology in IT, legal, and business contexts. The term has gained importance with data protection regulations (LGPD in Brazil, GDPR in EU, CCPA in USA). In corporate environments, there's often tension between data deletion rights (privacy) and record retention requirements (compliance), making this term legally and operationally significant.
