I see the delete a character option, but it does not re-open the character slot. How do you permanently delete a character so it re-opens the slot and gets rid of the restore option.

Wait for 3-5 days and slot will be clear.

That seems a little unnecessary >.>

that is necessary.

How is this necessary in any manner?

It's not like the server has to have someone manually delete each character. It's digital..

This is necessary if your account was stolen or if you change your decision.

Gotcha, that makes sense.
