Can you really delete anything from NSA servers? Or from Internet in general?

For me the problem with IPFS is - it is just not interesting enough. It's not a storage solution, it is distribution and caching mechanism. You can't really upload to IPFS, you can only publish via IPFS - the same way you publish via HTTP.

I am quite confident that the NSA does not have a complete image of the encrypted data in my self-hosted Nextcloud instance. With IPFS they wouldn't even have to do anything, if they sometime in the future were able to break the encryption.

Yeah there's actually powerpoints from the snowden leaks showing how much they ingest per month and how much of that they keep, etc.

So how much do they keep?

I looked at this briefly for a security module for my MSc and from what I vaguely recall they were tapping roughly half of all data going through AT&T on the West coast
