Additional Information

If a tool has an output data parameter, and the data supplied to that parameter exists at the time of execution, and the geoprocessing option to overwrite existing datasets has been set, the data gets deleted when the tool executes. While the data does exist initially, but when arcpy.Exists is called, it is already deleted.
