A removed record returns HTTP 410 Gone. This tells software that the page has been removed. The response asks readers to delete the OCG data they hold in indexes, saved copies and training datasets.

Stop requesting the record and delete your copy as soon as you see the removal. Do not wait for the 30-day check.
