[Python] how to find full delta using python deepdiff?

I wrote the following simple test:

deeptest.py

from deepdiff import DeepDiff, Delta

dict1 = {'catalog': {'uuid': 'e95fb23c-57d2-495f-8ab5-2c6b3152bcee', 'metadata': {'title': 'Catalog', 'last-modified': '2025-04-10T16:00:34.033789-05:00', 'version': '1.0', 'oscal-version': '1.1.2'}, 'controls': [{'id': 'ac-1', 'title': 'Access Control', 'parts': [{'id': 'ac-1_stmt', 'name': 'statement', 'prose': 'Access control text.'}]}]}}
dict2 = {}

diff = DeepDiff(dict1, dict2)

print(diff)

delta = Delta(diff)

print(f'delta {delta}')


On the console I observe:

$ python python/deep_test.py
{'dictionary_item_removed': ["root['catalog']"]}
delta <Delta: {"dictionary_item_removed":{"root['catalog']":{"uuid":""}}}>


My question/issue is that the delta should be the entirety if dict1, but not all of it is shown...why?
