A. The cloud service provider may have extra copies for availability purposes. In cloud environments, providers often maintain multiple copies of data across different locations to ensure high availability and redundancy. These additional copies are intended to protect against data loss due to hardware failures or other issues. When a deletion command is issued by a cloud customer, it may not result in full destruction of all copies of the data, as the command might only affect the primary instance of the data. The extra copies maintained by the cloud provider for availability purposes might still exist until they are explicitly addressed or until the provider's retention policies are applied to remove them.
