I don't want to put that to a manual check for a number of reasons, from "not sure if that's even feasable" to "time could be better spent elsewhere".

But, given that a manual check would be time consuming anyway, I think having a mass "privatize and then later delete" would make it easier to make it user-initiated and confirmed. That is, it would make them all private, and then x days later (I like the idea of 30, to match with the purging cycles, but 7 to match with the secret password would also work), would send an email with a link to confirm that all those now-private entries can be deleted. Or something like that.

I like this idea, particularly with the don't-delete-until-the-user-clicks-the-thing-to-confirm, rather than a time bomb of sorts, where you set it up and it goes unless stopped.

I like this suggestion.

I would support the present suggestion only if measures like this were included. I'd also like the deleting user to be required to enter their password when they initiate the process, and again when they return to confirm the deletion.
