It seems to be a feature of Lemmy to keep deleted comments, so they can be restored if deleted by accident. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2977
A few weeks ago they merged a change to purge deleted comments after 30 days: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3208
For users that want to delete their comment, it seems like editing it is a more effective option.
