Not quite sure what bsky's "removal of youraccount" actually means. The full instance of bsky is a network of metadata tags and tag filters, and it's likely that bksy simply tagged the like "hidden_tr" to this account and then loaded a blacklist of tagged accounts through a filter in their app. If that's all it is, it's just a case of "hiding the account from bksy.app".
Of course since bsky.app is now used by basically all Bluesky users, there is a chance that this will work. The actual deletion of an account for bsky is to delete all data associated with the account from the PDS, and if the account data does not exist in several PDSs of bsky.app, then the only way to find out is to find out which PDS it corresponds to and ask them to delete the data or disable the federation.
