### 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

daysUntilStale: 30

# Number of days of inactivity before an Issue or Pull Request with the stale label is closed.
# Set to false to disable. If disabled, issues still need to be closed manually, but will remain marked as stale.
daysUntilClose: 15

# Only issues or pull requests with all of these labels are check if stale. Defaults to `[]` (disabled)
