There are two types of story deletion: soft delete and hard delete. When a story is soft deleted, it is simply marked as deleted, with the isDeleted flag set to true in the database. The story still exists in the database, but is no longer visible to users. By contrast, when a story is hard deleted, all associated data, including reactions, comments is permanently removed from the database. This makes it impossible to retrieve the data once it has been hard deleted. Note that both soft delete and hard delete permanently remove unsynced stories from cache.
