```
mc replicate edit alias/bucket --id xyz.id --replicate "delete,delete-marker"
```

To re-enable replica metadata modification syncing,

```
mc replicate edit alias/bucket --id xyz.id --replicate "delete,delete-marker,replica-metadata-sync"
```

### Replicating Deletes

To permanently delete an object you need to specify the version you want to delete, only the user with appropriate permissions can permanently delete a version.  As shown below DELETE request called with a specific version id permanently deletes an object from a bucket. Delete marker is not added for DELETE requests with version id.

case of versioned deletes a.k.a permanent delete of a version by doing a `mc rm --version-id` on a object, replication implementation marks a object version permanently deleted as `PENDING` purge and deletes the version from source after syncing to the target and ensuring target version is deleted. The delete marker being deleted or object version being deleted will still be visible on listing with `mc ls --versions` until the sync is completed. Objects marked as deleted will not be accessible via `GET`...

		peerS3BucketDeleted: strconv.FormatBool(opts.Deleted),
	})

	ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(ctx, globalDriveConfig.GetMaxTimeout())
	defer cancel()

	volInfo, err := headBucketRPC.Call(ctx, conn, mss)
	if err != nil {
		return BucketInfo{}, toStorageErr(err)
	}

	return BucketInfo{
		Name:    volInfo.Name,
		Created: volInfo.Created,
		Deleted: volInfo.Deleted,
	}, nil
}

## Concepts

- If an object is under legal hold, it cannot be deleted unless the legal hold is explicitly removed for the respective version id. DeleteObjectVersion() would fail otherwise.

	c, ok := b.caches[id]
	if ok {
		// Delete from root map.
		list := b.cachesRoot[c.root]
		for i, lid := range list {
			if id == lid {
				list = append(list[:i], list[i+1:]...)
				break
			}
		}
		b.cachesRoot[c.root] = list
		delete(b.caches, id)
		b.updated = true
	}
	b.mu.Unlock()
	if ok {
		c.delete(context.Background())
	}

	}
	set := s.getHashedSet(object)
	return set.DeleteObject(ctx, bucket, object, opts)
}

// DeleteObjects - bulk delete of objects
// Bulk delete is only possible within one set. For that purpose
// objects are group by set first, and then bulk delete is invoked
// for each set, the error response of each delete will be returned
