I created 2 hashtags for testing in a threads. I deleted the thread a few hours ago but both hashtags still appear in the sidepanel widget on forum home, even though if you click either one is shows "no results found".
That's not considered a bug, at least for the moment. They will still show up as having been used, so if there are very few hash tags used at the moment, it stands to reason that those hash tags will still be considered trending.
