   Sounds like you want something like a “union” or “overlay” file system,   
   like I had on my old Asus Eee 701 with its preinstalled Xandros OS: you   
   could make whatever changes you liked in the overlay, including making it   
   look like files had been deleted, but wipe the overlay, and you are back   
   to the original pristine underlying OS.
