121130 Tombstone returned by [Delete a memory](/docs/en/api/beta/memory_stores/memories/delete). Deleting a memory does not erase its version history: its versions remain listable via [List memory versions](/docs/en/api/beta/memory_stores/memory_versions/list) while they are retained (each version is kept for at least the version retention period after it was written, unless the store itself is deleted).
