Why was it purged?
All deleted posts will eventually be purged. There's a gigantic backlog, and right now lozer isn't doing much purging because of working on the site layout, but they will all be purged.
Doesn't that normally take a lot effort?
Nope, it requires clicking a single button.
I thought purges are reserved only for illegal things
Incorrect. Illegal things are the only things you'll see purged immediately after deletion, so they're generally the only ones people will actually see, but that's it.
so I wonder why the effort to purge something that's only a poor edit lol.
This one was probably actually deleted by lozertuser himself. He doesn't often delete images, but when he does, he purges them immediately. Mainly so they don't sit and build up in the queue.
