ILM do not delete the "delete marker" | NetApp | Page 1

Hello all,
I have two customers using ILM to delete non-current objects (versions).
They realized that after the expiration time, all versions should be deleted but the very last one stay because it is the "delete marker".

Following the documentation => https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/storagegrid/ilm/how-objects-are-deleted.html#delete-s3-versioned-objects
I don't get the second rule to create, about using ingest time to match the current version or current delete markers.

Someone could help me to understand and give an example ?
Screenshot are always good to understand 🙂

Thanks in advance !

Hi, did you set 'ExpiredObjectDeleteMarker' to true in your rules ?

Hi, No my customers don't use the Bucket lifecycle policy.
They're using ILM only.
