Social media links aren't cleared when a game is deleted

When a game is deleted on the platform, the game’s title and description get deleted, however social links do not. This can be an issue, especially considering a large amount of kids lie about their age on the internet, meaning that they’ll see social links.

The text included in a social media link isn’t deleted and could direct users to a variety of malicious places, “Join for R$!”, etc. Someone aware of this could direct users to another scam game, video, Discord server or even social media link. If Roblox were to address this, what happens when a game is deleted would be consistent and the safety of users could be improved.

Examples of games with social links despite the owner being deleted:

EDIT: Social links for the items linked above have been deleted since I made this post.

EDIT 2: Found a link to a deleted game with a social link still, as proof:

I don’t see social links for either of those games. Am I missing something?

They’ve been removed since I originally made this post, presumably by moderation staff. I’m having trouble finding more examples of games that fit this criteria unfortunately.

I can vouch I checked this thread this-morning and saw the social links there, so moderation staff as Petey presumed, have gotten rid of them since

This is still relevant, this game was recently deleted and still retains its social links:

I can confirm this is happening.
