Abstract
Techniques introduced herein allow writeable PPIs to be analyzed prior to deletion to determine whether or not the writeable PPIs have reached the end of their life cycle. Prior to deletion a writeable PPI manager can inspect the writeable PPI to determine whether or not the writeable PPI has reached the end of the writeable PPI life cycle. If various criteria are not met, then the writeable PPI can be determined to have not yet reached the end of its life cycle and the deletion can be prevented.
