Abstract
An instruction to delete the entry is received. A second entry that includes a reference to the entry is identified. A third entry including information to be preserved from the entry is added in a deleted entries subtree. The third entry is modified to include the reference information from the second entry. The third entry is saved such that during a restore of the entry the third entry provides the information to restore the entry and the reference to the entry. The third entry may include a set of attributes that store an identifier of the second entry. The entry is restored from the third entry and made available in the directory. A reference is recreated in the second entry to the restored entry forming a restored second entry.
