Abstract: A method of image management is presented. The method includes selecting one or more objects from an object listing for deletion, where the one or more objects comprise an archived object, an unarchived object, or both. Further, the method includes determining archival status of the one or more selected objects, where the archival status comprises one of an archived state or an unarchived state. Also, the method includes moving the unarchived objects to a first storage, where the first storage is configured to facilitate restoration of the unarchived objects. Systems and computer-readable medium that afford functionality of the type defined by this method are also contemplated in conjunction with the present technique.
