Abstract
This invention provides a smart directory manager for deleting directory entries. The smart directory manager includes a directory memory, user interface devices and a directory management device. The directory management device generates a recommended delete-directory-entry of the directory memory and deletes the recommended delete-directory-entry from the directory memory when a delete instruction is received from a user. The directory management device generates the recommended delete-directory-entry by comparing information of each directory entry contained in the directory memory based on a predetermined delete strategy. The directory entry having the information that best satisfies the predetermined delete strategy is selected as the recommended delete-directory-entry.
