If the data that was deleted is sensitive, then the fact that you deleted it but that it didn't actually go away means you can be lulled into complacency about your vulnerability with respect to that data in a way that you're unlikely to be in respect of data you still have (only with new values). Lots of people forget about deleted data once it's deleted. Keep in mind that sometimes people delete data from a system because it's been archived somewhere else or something like that -- not all databases have the totality of all the relevant data in them, but can often represent just "current" data.
