User Deletion API: userDeletionRequests:upsert

I'm trying newly released User Deletion API:

userDeletionRequests:upsert

Here's API Response, for 2 records (users) I tried delete

with parameters set: {'deletionRequestTime': '2016-02-14T00:00:00.0-08:00'}

res: <Response [200]>
res.text: {"kind":"analytics#userDeletionRequest","id": 
{"type":"CLIENT_ID","userId":"8396004.1987248867"},"webPropertyId":"UA- 
XXXX-Y","deletionRequestTime":"2018-05-24T20:57:27.617Z"}


res: <Response [200]>
res.text: {"kind":"analytics#userDeletionRequest","id":   
{"type":"CLIENT_ID","userId":"805053347.1511735850"},"webPropertyId":"UA- 
XXXX-Y","deletionRequestTime":"2018-05-24T20:57:29.764Z"}

The API Responses 200 seems ok, but when I checked the User Explorer reports (since 1st Nov) in GA interface, these users still appear... is that normal? (I had expected these rows to disappear for the date range data is deleted) How can we confirm from the GA UI that user data has actually been deleted!

Cheers and thanks for any clarification!

Vibhor,

The Google Analytics User Deletion API does not currently provide information about the deletion status, and the actual wipe out can be delayed.

Thanks, Ilya
