Another update and possibly a solution for some case where posts were not properly deleted. There is a limitation in Powerdelete. Here is a link to a new version and alternatives:

The restores could also be rollbacks from the server issues or post haven't been properly deleted due to subs being private during blackouts.
Many have experienced the same issue, there is a discussion here on kbin:

I just logged in and checked my reddit account, and all my deleted posts have come back.
In another thread, someone mentioned that the scripts that delete comments don’t work if the sub is private, so it could be that people are thinking their content was deleted, but the deletion didn’t actually happen.

I haven’t done it, so I can’t validate that.
