Abstract
Some embodiments provide a file system for purging content based on a single traversal of the file system that identifies the directory containing the content without performing a secondary traversal within the directory to target the operation to only the file that are associated with content such that other files contained in the directory are unaffected. The file system supplements traditional directory structures with file-level directories. Each file-level directory is created to contain a root file associated with particular content, different variants of the particular content, and supporting files. Consequently, the file system can complete an operation targeting particular content by performing that operation on the file-level directory containing the particular content, thereby eliminating the need to conduct a file-by-file traversal of the containing directory as a prerequisite to identifying the files associated with the particular content and performing the operation on the files individually.
