Abstract
A directory deletion method and apparatus, and a storage server, where the directory deletion method includes receiving, by a storage server, a delete operation authentication request of a host, where the delete operation authentication request carries user information and information about a target directory, storing, by the storage server, the user information and returning a file identifier (FID) of the target directory to the host after authentication succeeds, sending, by the host to the storage server, a delete request carrying the FID, performing, by the storage server, verification on the file and the subdirectory using the user information, and deleting a successfully verified empty subdirectory and a successfully verified file. Hence, the directory deletion method and the apparatus, and the storage server improve directory deletion efficiency.
