Anthropic deleted the pirated training data as part of the settlement https://www.ropesgray.com/en/insights/alerts/2025/09/anthrop...

Destruction of Materials: In addition to the monetary compensation, Anthropic has agreed to destroy the two libraries that allegedly contain the pirated works, as well as any derivative copies originating from those sources. Anthropic must certify in writing to class counsel that the destruction has been completed and that the allegedly infringing materials are permanently removed from its systems.

The libraries in question were Library Genesis (LibGen) and Pirate Library Mirror (PiLiMi).

If Anthropic is somehow training models on deleted data, I'd be quite impressed.
