This is more or less expected. Library is loading from Elastic Search, which can take from a second to up to even minutes to reflect these deletions. We cannot be sure when the entity would get deleted from the index and therefore this presents problems.

We could mitigate the problem by "disabling" the card on the library and rendering it gray, almost like a ghost, and prevent interaction with the buttons. But if the user refreshes it could reappear as the entity is still indexed.

We will discuss this on the product call from a tech and UX perspective as to how to communicate this better.
