Why do you need the thread deleted to reuse the domain?

Even if it's deleted, google will continue to keep it in cache indefinitely. So there's no point in deleting it.

That's a very different type of request.

In the interests of my technical curiosity, I've removed it. But I'm still doubtful that Google will remove it from cache. It Google 404's a link, it retains the page in cache indefinitely.
