Abstract
Techniques and solutions are provided for identifying sets of related data, such as for a data deletion process. Data objects can be considered as having parent-child relationships, where values for one or more attributes of a child data object are constrained by corresponding one or more attributes of a parent data object. The set of data objects and their relationships can be represented, such as in a graph. In an iterative process, the data object representation is analyzed to identify 'leaf nodes,' which are data objects that do not constrain other data objects. Relevant data is deleted from the data objects, and the representation is updated to “remove” such data objects so that a new set of leaf nodes is obtained. Optionally, when a leaf node that serves as a parent is analyzed, it can be confirmed whether corresponding data has already been deleted from its children.
