An object that is in transition tier will be deleted once the object hits expiry date or if removed via `mc rm` (`mc rm --vid` in the case of delete of a specific object version). Other rules specific to legal hold and object locking precede any lifecycle rules.

### Additional notes

Tiering and lifecycle transition are applicable only to erasure/distributed MinIO.
