Abstract
According to one general aspect, a method may include determining the validity of a registry entry, wherein the registry entry is included in a deleted items registry, the deleted items registry including registry entries previously determined to be invalid. Upon determining the registry entry is valid, moving the registry entry to a valid items registry, and upon determining the registry entry is invalid, determine if the registry entry has been invalid more than a threshold number of times, upon determining the registry entry has not been invalid more than the threshold number of times, increase a period of time before a next determination as to whether the registry entry in the deleted items registry is valid, and upon determining the registry entry has been invalid more than the threshold number of times, remove the second registry entry from the deleted items registry.
