But I do agree that on a lot of forums only the content of a post is deleted leaving the name and details and not the whole post

There is a 60 minute grace period. If you decide to remove your post within 60 mins - it goes completely.
If not, you have
six two hours in which to edit the post.
We went through this about 10(?) years ago. I haven't needed to alter the time frame since that discussion.
