From a project management standpoint, the answer to your question:

"What if the freelancer disappeared after his profile was deleted?"

Is the same answer you would have if you asked these other questions?

"What if the freelancer was hit by a bus and died?"

"What if the freelancer won the lottery and retired to Fiji?"

"What if the freelancer adopted a puppy and no longer works online?"

It is ALWAYS a possibility that any individual member of your team may not be able to continue. As a project manager, you have already planned for that. You have all of the resources archived. You are able to assign other members of the team to continue the work on the project.
