Why HBase Delete Reverts Back to Previous Value instead of Totally Deleting it

Hbase Apache,

Let's say I have a column named signup_date with a value 2019-09-09. Then I will update this column to 2019-11-11. So signup_date is now 2019-11-11.

After that, if I delete the signup_date column, I expect it to be gone in the Hbase BUT, it remains there and it's reverted back to 2019-09-09.

Is this a bug in hbase where deleted columns are reverted back to previous values?

What version of hbase and how are you issuing the delete.

Maybe you used uncorrect method of Delete,the addColumn only can delete one version,and the addColumns can delete all versions.

Is this a bug in hbase where deleted columns are reverted back to previous values?
