Claim 7:
8. A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable media having instructions thereupon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
determining which data structures own data portions to be deleted, wherein the data structures are configured to own data portions of further files associated with inodes owned by other data structures;
recording, by a data structure owning an inode having a data portion to be deleted, a file deletion request in a first memory;
transferring the recorded file deletion request from the first memory to a second memory to enable the data structures that own the data portions to be deleted to generate batch data deletions, the second memory comprising persistent memory to persist the recorded file deletion request; and
