In 2019, customer deleted vendors (thru Vendor Utility - I created the import job for them) that hadn't been used in years.  As time has passed, she has started reusing the vendor numbers.  Last week she found a vendor number that she reused now contains the check history for the original vendor.
WTH?  Why would this happen?  Do I have any options to avoid it happening again?  
They are on version 2018 give or take a year!

Yes, I've seen that in older versions too.   In fact, I had to re-import the vendors since deleting them caused more trouble than it fixed.

I think check history is not one of the files that can be purged with the utility.  I have always "merged vendors" into a single obsolete vendor, instead.  If you look at the file types behind the "all files", I do not see check history.  And I think it is tied to the module history setting.
