The Ruling on What the Apostate Published Regarding Acts of Disbelief During His Apostasy

Question
A person published acts of disbelief during his apostasy, may Allah protect us. Then he repented to Allah Almighty, pronounced the two testimonies of faith, and returned to Islam. Is the existence of these pages and videos that promote disbelief or the statements he published, or anything he did, a call to disbelief, may Allah protect us? Does this mean that his Islam is not accepted unless he erases all these traces, or is it sufficient for his Islam to return to Allah Almighty and repent even if the traces of these pages remain widespread?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: His Islam is valid even if the traces of his acts of disbelief remain, and it is preferable for him to strive diligently to remove them, and God knows best.
