What happens if someone deletes information from my account on a government website

It's possible that whomever did this violated internal rules of their government employer and could be disciplined or even terminated by their employer for it; however, there's nothing you can do (other than possibly re-applying for this job or a similar one). There is no inherent legal right to apply for a job, to be considered for it, to have your information maintained, etc., and therefore, there is no recourse for you if your application was ignored or deleted.
