Object deletions

Object deletions happen like this:

When a user, an application, or the disposition service deletes an object, HCP hides the object data and metadata, marks the object for deletion, and if possible, immediately deletes it.

When a user or application purges an object, HCP hides the data and metadata for all versions of the object, marks them all for deletion, and if possible, immediately deletes them all.

When HCP prunes a version of an object, it hides the data and metadata for that version, marks the version for deletion, and if possible, immediately deletes it.

When the garbage collection service runs:

oIt looks for hidden objects. If it finds such objects marked for deletion, it deletes them.

oIt looks for objects left by failed writes through the HTTP, WebDAV, and SMTP protocols. If it finds such objects, it deletes them.

In all cases, when applicable, deletion triggers the shredding service.
