What is Delete marker? how is it different from version id?

Delete Marker- A Delete Marker is created to represent the fact that a user has performed a DELETE on the object, Delete Marker indicates who and when DELETE operation performed.
Version Id- Every version of an object in your bucket can be uniquely identified by a key and an alphanumeric system-generated id called version id.
Difference- The Delete Marker is itself given a version id; however it has no data associated with it other than a Creation Date and Owner (whoever performed the DELETE).
