1. A method for execution by one or more processors of one or more computing devices of a dispersed storage network (DSN), the method comprises: sending a set of low retention priority write requests to storage units of the DSN based on a write facilitating request to store a low retention priority data object in the DSN, wherein each low retention priority write request of the set of low retention priority write requests includes a low retention priority query, wherein the low retention priority data object corresponds to scratch pad data associated with intermediate results generated when a task is performed on other data, and wherein the low retention priority data object requires only temporary storage in the DSN, wherein the low retention priority data object includes a given low retention priority level of a plurality of low retention priority level of low retention priority data that specify that first information within the DSN associated with a first retention priority level shall not be deleted from storage within the DSN before second information within the DSN associated with a second retention priority level when the first retention priority level indicates a greater requirement for retention than the second retention priority level; for each storage unit of the storage units that receives a low retention priority write request of the set of low retention priority write requests: determining a low retention priority response regarding availability for storing low retention priority data based on current storage of low priority data objects and available memory for storing the low retention priority data; and sending the low retention priority response; and when a threshold number of favorable low retention priority responses have been received, facilitating storage of the low retention priority data object.
