Quick answer

Address-history rows linked to the purged address are removed because they contain address-identifying evidence.

Address history is part of the purge

Address-history rows linked to the purged address are deleted because they contain address-identifying evidence. Unrelated browser-session or global system data is outside this address-level purge scope.

For MailOnce Free, expiry or deletion closes the address first. Closed inbox data is retained for exactly 24 hours before it becomes eligible for hard purge by the cleanup worker.

Keep closure and physical purge separate

This is a bounded retention-and-purge policy, not instant deletion at the second the timer reaches zero and not permanent storage. There is currently no public immediate-purge endpoint and no Plus/account retention policy implemented in this phase.

History and mailbox content are different data

The useful privacy model is precise: active use, logical closure, 24-hour closed-data retention, then eligible physical purge. Address-history rows linked to the purged address are removed because they contain address-identifying evidence.
