Why won't Lemmy delete communities that are innactive? (lemmy.world)

I see communities with almost no posts and the only moderator deleted their account. Shouldn't these be deleted?

I think abandoned communities just spend server space, right? This and unused accounts.

An inactive community barely uses any space

Honestly, posts and users don't take that much space on disk, especially relative to images. I rarely bother to clean abandoned communities on my instance.
