They don’t need to keep the images because they hash them. They store the hashes - that’s the point. CSAM detection works the same way.
If your hash matches the database hash (on 2 or more databases), then it will be flagged for manual review. They don’t need to know which image it matched, because they look at your image and go “yeh that’s an intimate image so it’s a match”.
