Abstract
A request to delete a directory from a storage is received. The directory is unlinked from a parent metadata object. A success confirmation that the directory is unlinked from the parent metadata object is provided. After the success confirmation is provided, one or more metadata objects of the directory are marked for deletion, and the one or more marked metadata objects and at least one of their descendant metadata objects are identified and deleted.
