Also people are retarded and will probably still message support for their giveaway being deleted.

Regarding the last point:
When you create a giveaway, there's a notification saying, 'Based on your current feedback score, you're able to create up to x additional gifts.' Deleted giveaways do not add to this total, so if you're able to create 5 additional gifts, and you create and delete them all, you'll be locked out. This prevents users from simply creating and removing giveaways, or trolling.
Is this supposed to say "deleted giveaways DO add to this total?" I'm confused since the example seems to imply that deleted giveaways count towards the limit.

No, it's correct. If you create a giveaway, it subtracts one from that number, and deleting the giveaway doesn't add one back. The wording is a little confusing, I'll adjust it.

So deleting a giveaway permanently reduces the number of giveaways you can have open by 1? Sounds good. My only concern about such a system was trolling (e.g. Skyrim giveaway, delete with 1 second left), and that sounds like a serious disincentive. Thanks for your efforts, cg.

Another update was just rolled out, allowing users to delete their own giveaways.
If you view one of your giveaways, you'll see a Delete Giveaway button where the typical Report Giveaway button is located. If you click it, you'll be forwarded to a page where you can select a reason for the deletion from a dropdown menu (See below for the list). After selecting a reason, the giveaway will be instantly removed. I know there are going to be a lot of questions, so I'll try to summarize some of the mains points.
