Thousands of datasets have disappeared from data.gov. Determining what's gone, why it's gone, and whether it moved elsewhere will to take time. Things are definitely being purged but archivists working hard to determine exactly what has happened to a given dataset

it's wildly against federal data protection policies for workers to just plug their own USB storage into USG computers. doing this would immediately get these people fired. this goes for contractor-operated USG computers as well.
finally, data.gov is a registry, not a data platform. scrubbing entries from it makes the data harder to find; it does not delete the data itself. deleting data would have to be done by each of the agencies.
