Delete an object or a bucket

Delete an object

Delete objects with an S3 client (see Accessing Object Storage).

# delete a single object
aws --profile=aucloud --endpoint-url=https://s3.aucyber.com.au s3 rm s3://mybucket/myfile.txt

# delete everything under a prefix
aws --profile=aucloud --endpoint-url=https://s3.aucyber.com.au s3 rm s3://mybucket/mydir/ --recursive

Delete a bucket

A bucket must be empty before it can be deleted. Empty and remove it with an S3 client:

# empty the bucket, then delete it
aws --profile=aucloud --endpoint-url=https://s3.aucyber.com.au s3 rm s3://mybucket --recursive
aws --profile=aucloud --endpoint-url=https://s3.aucyber.com.au s3 rb s3://mybucket

You can also delete an empty bucket from the Buckets page of the Tenant Manager.

Warning

Deletion is permanent. With versioning or object lock enabled, deleting an object may leave a delete marker or be blocked until the lock retention expires.
