what drives deletion of kafka topics

I've Kafka 10.
I've a basic question - what determines when the Kafka topic marked for
deletion gets deleted ?

Today, i marked a topic for deletion, and it got deleted immediately
(possibly because the topic was not being used for last few months ?) ..
In earlier instances, i'd to wait for some time before i could see the
topic deleted

any ideas ?

Also, if it marked for deletion, can it be un-marked so it does not get
deleted ?
