Fails to delete all data, leads to confusing stats

I ran the archiver on a dev copy of a client's site. It saved loads of data woop woop! But here's the stuff I don't understand

I'm referring to this screen

  • Intended Recipients
    • original & archived: 120,272.
    • But clicking the Intended Recipients link gives:
      • original: 120,248
      • archived: 74,249 ⚠️ what? I honestly thought this would be 0 because it deletes the mailing recipients rows, but to randomly loose 30% of them?
    • Clicking the Report link on the right of Intended Recipients gives:
      • original: 120,221
      • archived: 74,233
    • Clicking the Advanced Search link on the right of Intended Recipients gives:
      • original: 120,268
      • archived: 0 ⚠️ this makes sense if we lose the recipients, but doesn't make sense in the context of the above.
  • Successful Deliveries, Unique Opens has a similar profile to Intended Recipients.
  • Total opens on mailing report page:
    • original: 66,454
    • archived: 40,997
    • huh? I don't massively care about this stat, but would like to understand.

Can anyone explain why this 2/3rds stats and where the reports are getting the data from (since I thought it had been deleted!)
