DATA SOFT DELETION, RECOVERY AND SYNCHRONIZATION METHOD, TERMINAL AND SYSTEM THEREOF

摘要

A method, terminal, and system for soft-deleting, restoring, and synchronizing data are provided. The method for synchronizing data includes: synchronizing, by a server and a terminal, server data not marked as soft-deleted during data synchronization. The method for soft-deleting data includes: receiving, by a server, a soft deletion request from a terminal; and obtaining server data to be soft-deleted according to the soft deletion request and marking the server data as soft-deleted. With the embodiments of the present invention, the server marks the soft-deleted server data as soft-deleted. Thus, the server does not synchronize the soft-deleted server data back to the terminal during normal synchronization or slow synchronization. This avoids confused data management and ensures the normal running of the terminal.
