With a RF and CL of one, there is no replication so there can be no issue
with distributed deletes.  Writes (and reads) can only go to the one host
that has the data and will be refused if that node is down.  I'd guess that
your app isn't deleting records when you think that it is, or that the
delete is failing but not being detected as failed.
