It is deleted, then added to a list of deleted faces.

Just so they can be sure not to re-add it later.

Yeah. That's it! And they're sticking with that story.



Unless you want it restored in which case they'll undelete it for you. It's good design to provide an undo option after all.


Undo options are user friendly! And what if you really actually want them to use your face data, but hit it by accident? Maybe it's best if they just ignore the request all together. That way you can both feel good about things, users think they got what they wanted, and Facebook actually gets what it wants. Everyone wins. Except the user, who loses.
