Re: deleted subvols don't go away?

ID=5 is the default, "root" or "toplevel" subvolume which can't be
deleted anyway (at least normally, I am not sure if some debug-magic
can achieve that).
I just checked this (out of curiosity) and all my Btrfs filesystems
report something very similar to yours (I thought DELETED was a made
up example but I see it was literal...):

~ # btrfs sub list -a /
ID 303 gen 172881 top level 5 path <FS_TREE>/gentoo
~ # btrfs sub list -ad /
ID 5 gen 172564 top level 0 path <FS_TREE>/DELETED

I guess this entry is some placeholder, like a hidden "trash"
directory on some filesystems. I don't think this means all Btrfs
filesystems forever hold on to their last deleted subvolumes (and only
one).
