To disable soft deletes on your Directory Server, reset the global configuration property and the remove the soft-delete policy.

From that point, PingDirectory processes all deletes as hard deletes by default. Any use of the soft-deleted options with the LDAP tools results in an error. Any existing soft-deleted entries that are present disabling after the global configuration remain in the server as latent entries.

Note:

Be sure to include the LDAP bind parameters for your system when running each of these commands.

To reset the global configuration property, run the following dsconfig command.
```
$ bin/dsconfig set-global-configuration-prop --reset soft-delete-policy
```

To reset the global configuration property, run the following dsconfig command.
