Abstract
Described is a system (and method) for providing multiple types of granular delete operations for a cloud-based object storage. The system may include a server that acts as an intermediary between a client device and an object storage that stores client data. The server may allow a client to perform a hard delete (or permanent) delete and a soft delete. The server may perform a specialized processing to synthetically create the soft delete feature using a permanent object delete operation provided by the object storage. The specialized processing may include manipulating retention periods associated with objects depending on whether the object is subject to a hard delete or a soft delete. As a result, the server may provide the ability for clients to perform a soft delete at an object level using existing storage level APIs that do not directly support such a feature.
