Summary0012920: Purchased items stay at the Trade Depot undefinitely after the merchants have left, UNLESS...
Description...a stockpile is present AT THE SAME LEVEL as the Trade Depot itself. Only then, will the purchased items that match that stockpile's type(s) of items be hauled out of the Trade Depot and to the aforesaid stockpile (and eventually, to stockpiles on different levels); provided, of course - and as long as - the stockpile on the same level as the Trade Depot has storage room available.



Additional InformationThe Trade Depot with purchased items stuck in it behaves like a quantum stockpile: it has unlimited storage room, and needed items will be picked up from it just normal.

WORKAROUND: The simplest and quickest way to force stuck items into stockpiles on other levels is by deconstructing the Trade Depot altogether and rebuilding it after all of those items have been hauled away.

NOTE: This is quite an old bug (Bay 12 forums have been showing reports about this since 2015 at least, so it's been a thing for nearly a decade by now).
Tagshauling, trade depot

You need to provide a save where this is happening, see https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Importing_and_exporting_worlds#Save

In my current world, I hav no merchants currently, the only stuff in the trade depot is stuff there's not stockpile space for, and as soon as I make space for some thing, they haul it down 8 or 11 levels. I don't hav any stockpile on the same level as the trade depot.

Did you happen to buy any clothes? There's a bug specific to those 0013304 , though I don't think it was in 50.11.

Had a similar issue.
Bought a stack of prepapred meals from a human caravan.
They were supposed to leave, but they didn't.
And the dwarfs refused to haul the items away.
After deconstructing the depot, the trader left immediately.
