<!--- Provide a general summary of the issue in the Title above -->

It must be noted that if active-active replication is set up with delete marker replication, there is potential for duplicate delete markers to be created if both source and target concurrently set a Delete Marker or if one/both of the clusters went down at tandem before the replication event was synced.This is an unavoidable side-effect in active-active replication caused by allowing delete markers set on a object version with `REPLICA` status back to source.

```
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"
```

### 3.3 Automatic removal of delete markers with no other versions

When an object has only one version as a delete marker, the latter can be automatically removed after a certain number of days using the following configuration:

```
{
    "Rules": [
        {
            "ID": "Removing all delete markers",
            "Expiration": {
                "DeleteMarker": true

| `minio_cluster_usage_version_total`          | Total number of versions (includes delete marker) in a cluster |
| `minio_cluster_usage_deletemarker_total`     | Total number of delete markers in a cluster                    |
| `minio_cluster_usage_total_bytes`            | Total cluster usage in bytes                                   |

| `minio_cluster_usage_objects_versions_count`             | `gauge` | Total cluster object versions (including delete markers) count |         |
| `minio_cluster_usage_objects_delete_markers_count`       | `gauge` | Total cluster delete markers count                             |         |
