Techniques for maintaining file consistency during file system cross-region replication

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• identifying, by a computing system, a file directory entry without a file deletion status in a snapshot of a source file system being replicated to a target file system;
• in accordance with identifying the file directory entry without the file deletion status in the snapshot, generating, by the computing system, a temporary file directory entry based at least in part on the identified file directory entry without the file deletion status;
• and
• transferring, by the computing system, the temporary file directory entry from the source file system to the target file system.
