Comment:

 Hi @princeofabyss !

 Thanks for submitting the ticket.

 This was talked about in
 [https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C02RQBWTW/p1624945065446300 a triage
 session] today.

 I'll give a synopsis based on the feedback there.

 The issue is that once a post is deleted, WordPress can't reliably
 determine what the CPT of the post was.

 For this reason, the consensus was to close the ticket as `wontfix`.

 As far as a way forward: One suggestion was to reconsider the architecture
 of what you're building to see if there's a way to do it without deleting
 the post in that location, like returning an error before the post is
 saved.

 Thanks again, and sorry for the disappointing news -- I hope this
 recommendation is helpful.
