Can a country still arrest me if Interpol deletes my Red Notice?

Yes. Interpol notice deletion removes the international alert but does not extinguish the underlying national arrest warrant or extradition request.

How long does it take Interpol to delete a Red Notice after a successful challenge?

A CCF decision to delete the data is binding on INTERPOL and is implemented by the General Secretariat, and member countries are informed. The CCF must decide on deletion requests within nine months of the request being declared admissible, a period that can be extended in particular cases; in practice the whole process from filing […]
