Rapid development of cloud storage services produces a tremendous amount of user data outsourcing to cloud servers. Therefore, it is easy to generate data multi-replica, which is able to improve data availability and users' experience. However, when the management of data is poor, the sensitive information will be disclosed more easily. This may bring serious security and privacy challenges for both user's data and its multi-replica in cloud environment. In order to tackle the above issues, in this paper, we propose a multi-replica associated deleting scheme (MADS) in cloud environment. We first introduce a replica associated model to organize all of data replicas among different cloud servers. Furthermore, we propose the MADS scheme which is consists of data storage algorithm, replica generation algorithm, replica deletion and feedback algorithm. Finally, we employ Amazon S3 to implement MADS and the results indicate that the proposed scheme is available and effective.
