comment SPSite.Exists returning true for a just deleted site collection
Here is a blog post that discusses. There are a few posts out there that discuss the impact of Gradual Site Delete and the issue with the site still being recognized by SharePoint as existing (whether using the API or other features). blogbaris.blogspot.com/2013/01/…

comment SPSite.Exists returning true for a just deleted site collection
If you delete the site collection using PowerShell you can force the delete to bypass the timer job, and make sure it doesn't hit the recycle bin as well.

comment What does the GetListItems query option IncludeMandatoryColumns do?
Content types are templates for content and have to be associated with a list or library to use. Those extra fields such as created by and modified by are not on the content types, they system fields that are part of lists and libraries. No, you can't add those columns to the core content type.

comment Where is “Post-completion Workflow Activities” in sharepoint 2010?
Content approval is a publishing feature so yes, this option is only available on SharePoint Server 2010, but it is also only applicable on site with publishing features enabled.
