Comment (by xkon):

 After doing some back and forth tests after #43442 got commited I was
 confused on this and I've got a question / proposal.

 **What I did**:

 - I went on my dev site and spamed some comments as a visitor with mail
 `visitor at dev.oo`.

 - I went from the admin and made a custom request to remove data to the
 visitors email `visitor at dev.oo` and confirmed that request.

 - Went back on the admin and I removed `visitor at dev.oo` data.

 - I went again and left yet another comment as `visitor at dev.oo`.

 - I still had access from the admin since that mail had already made a
 confirmation to remove his data without the need of a `NEW` confirmation.

 **Proposal** ( if we haven't already talked about it ):

 After removing a users data, replace the button with something like 'Data
 removed on dd-mm-yy' this acts as:

 - a reminder for the Admin when that action took place
 - you can't use the same action without confirmation ( if you don't want
 to create a newer entry in the future )
 - a page being less confusing
 - needing a confirmation from scratch to remove a persons data with the
 same e-mail for safety reasons
