Description

After todays bug scrub - splitting this from #43481.

azaozz wrote ( https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/43481#comment:46 ):

Requests (new, pending, completed) should not be deletable. This is important for keeping audit log. The only exception may be be requests that haven't been confirmed by email, but then we can auto-delete them when the link in the email expires (and they become unusable).

There is a discussion following that comment on logging ( also there's a somewhat related ticket please see #43797 )

As we are going to build the logging mechanism, it will be keeping the relative data needed from both the Erasure / Export requests there as well.

Closing this as by keeping both entries into the logging + the lists themselves is pretty much unneeded double content.
