Why does Google keep returning my deleted items, and how do I delete them so they stay gone? (beehaw.org)

This has been going on for over a year now. About a month after I delete items to free up space, my account will be full again with the items I deleted before. Or I will update a contact and a phone number that they no longer have will be returned to their info. What am I missing?

I mean, I know the ultimate solution is to fully detach from Google. But while I'm trying to back my stuff up and make the transition easier, any help?

I wonder if you could ask google about it, citing GDPR which requires them to actually wipe the ones and zeros.
