### Which data is deleted?
23
+
- Browser (or device) properties
24
+
- Identification requests made from this browser (or device)
25
+
26
+
#### Browser (or device) properties
27
+
- Represents the data that Fingerprint collected from this specific browser (or device) and everything inferred and derived from it.
28
+
- Upon request to delete, this data is deleted asynchronously (typically within a few minutes) and it will no longer be used to identify this browser (or device) for your [Fingerprint Application](https://dev.fingerprint.com/docs/glossary#fingerprint-application).
29
+
30
+
#### Identification requests made from this browser (or device)
31
+
- Fingerprint stores the identification requests made from a browser (or device) for up to 30 (or 90) days depending on your plan. To learn more, see [Data Retention](https://dev.fingerprint.com/docs/regions#data-retention).
32
+
- Upon request to delete, the identification requests that were made by this browser
33
+
- Within the past 10 days are deleted within 24 hrs.
34
+
- Outside of 10 days are allowed to purge as per your data retention period.
35
+
36
+
### Corollary
37
+
After requesting to delete a visitor ID,
38
+
- If the same browser (or device) requests to identify, it will receive a different visitor ID.
39
+
- If you request [`/events` API](https://dev.fingerprint.com/reference/getevent) with a `request_id` that was made outside of the 10 days, you will still receive a valid response.
40
+
- If you request [`/visitors` API](https://dev.fingerprint.com/reference/getvisits) for the deleted visitor ID, the response will include identification requests that were made outside of those 10 days.
