To re-enable replica metadata modification syncing,

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

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.
