They can remove ALL the data and start over.

exactly.

removing one thing from a pile != removing the entire pile.

b/c the original goal was to not disturb the rest of the pile

If they can't remove individual pieces then they need to remove the whole pile, and rebuild the process in a way that does allow then to remove individual pieces.

No, I don't care how much time and effort it costs. That is on them for abusing other people's data.
