It's the hidden from non-admins part that is a problem.
If you did any significant editing, the discussions on your talk page could
be of interest to other editors even after you leave. It could be tagged as
belonging to a left user, it can be protected from trolls, and it might even
be blankable, but it cannot be deleted.
