Can admins delete arbitrary subsets of files despite DR Keep outcomes?

If so when and why? Are there maybe relevant cases or guidelines for this?

Asking because of Commons:Undeletion requests/Current requests#File:Astronaut amid flowing colors 'Push Your Envelope'.jpg & 2 other files deleted despite of a Keep outcome. I did not know current WMC policy allows for this except for when there either is another policy such as COM:CV that requires deletion or when DR participants also discussed some subset/criteria/cases of the nominated files to delete.
