What time are domain names actually deleted from the registry? I have heard conflicting times. Does anyone know?

Not sure as to the question. Has the domain been moved to another register and you want to know when it will be deleted from them, or when will a domain name be deleted after it has been registered and expired?

Depends on the Registry and the volume of names dropping.

.info at the moment seem to be dropping around 09:30 UTC, Though I have seen them drop at different times in the past.

You will need to be very quick if you want to beat the drop catchers and the name isn't something only you are likely to want. (Just the mere fact a name has been registered often means the names are more sought after than potentially more logical unregistered names.)
