The indefinite 'little while' for content removal, combined with the perpetual content license granted elsewhere in the Terms, means deletion of your account does not guarantee immediate or complete removal of your photos and information.
Bumble's terms grant the company a perpetual, worldwide license to use your photos and profile content even after you delete your account, and allow account termination or suspension at Bumble's sole discretion without prior notice or refund of paid subscription fees. The mandatory arbitration clause, combined with a class action waiver, means most disputes must be handled through private arbitration rather than in court, limiting your legal recourse as an individual. You can opt out of the arbitration agreement by sending written notice to Bumble within 30 days of creating your account, which preserves your right to pursue claims in court.

"You'll have great fun on Bumble, but if you feel the need to leave, you can delete your Account at any time by going to the 'Settings' page when you are logged in and clicking on the 'Delete account' link. Your Account will be deleted immediately but it may take a little while for Your Content (defined below) to be completely removed from the App. Your profile information will be treated in accordance with our Privacy Policy. If you delete your Account and try to create a new account within this time period using the same credentials, we will re-activate your Account for you.— Excerpt from Bumble's Bumble Terms and Conditions
