Do Durable Objects Delete Their Stored Data When They Self-Destruct

If a Durable Object destroys itself entirely (not just gets evicted from memory), will the data it stored be deleted as well, or do they remain persisted?

If a Durable Object completely destroys itself (not just gets evicted), what happens to its persistent storage?
I’m using a SQLite-backed database inside the Durable Object, and I want to confirm whether the data remains fully persistent even if the DO “self-destructs”.

Additionally:
If the Durable Object instance is gone, is there any way to access or retrieve the data stored in its SQLite database from outside the DO, or is it only accessible by recreating the same Durable Object (with the same ID) and reading the data through it?

AFAIK a Durable Object doesn't "self-destruct" as of now. The data that is stored in the SQLite DB stays as-is. And when the DO starts (in onStartonStart) you can choose to load data from the DB into memory if needed.
