ABSTRACT:
Systems, methods, and computer program products for deleting objects from device stores without deleting corresponding objects from one or more synchronization partners. A device has a device sync module for each synchronization partner and each device sync module maintains tracking data. Alternatively, a single device sync module manages the tracking data of each synchronization partner. When an object does not meet parameters of a synchronization filter, a soft delete request is made to the wireless device. A sync manager receives the soft delete request and determines from the other device sync modules that have registered with the sync manager whether they continue to synchronize the object. If none of the other device sync modules protest, the object is deleted. If one of the device sync modules objects to the delete request, then the delete is denied. The tracking data for all of the device sync modules is appropriately modified.
