Does unsubscribing mean data deletion?

Not Automatically. Unsubscribing from email and requesting data deletion are separate rights under GDPR. Unsubscribe stops future marketing but does not automatically require data deletion.

GDPR gives separate rights: right to object to processing (unsubscribe) and right to erasure (data deletion). People must specifically request deletion if they want it.

Process unsubscribes promptly. Respond to deletion requests through proper channels. Do not conflate the two; they are different actions with different implications.
