Delete This
'Delete this' — the reply to a post that is too embarrassing, too bad or too funny to remain — and 'delete your account', its 2016 escalation, said by one presidential candidate to another. The record's entry for the request that has never been honoured, and for the post that is, in every case, still up.

Definition by contrast: Delete This is not the older thing it gets compared to. The older thing needed context; Delete This was the context.

'Delete your account' tweeted by Hillary Clinton to Donald Trump in June 2016, which was, for a while, the most-retweeted tweet of the campaign. The record notes neither account was deleted, and that one was, later, suspended.
