Deleting an Object Storage Object

Delete one or more objects from an Object Storage bucket

You can permanently delete an object from a bucket or folder. You can't, however, recover a deleted object unless you have object versioning enabled. See Object Storage Versioning for details.

Note

You can't delete an object that has an active retention rule.
    1. On the Buckets list page, select the Object Storage bucket that you want to work with. If you need help finding the list page or the Object Storage bucket, see Listing Buckets.
    2. On the details page, select Objects.
    3. From the Actions menu for the object you want, select Delete.

      To delete several objects, select the check boxes next to the object names and select Delete from the More Actions menu.

    4. When prompted, confirm the deletion.

  • Use the oci os object delete command and required parameters to delete an object from a bucket:

    oci os object delete --bucket-name bucket_name --name object_name [OPTIONS]

    For example:

    oci os object delete --bucket-name MyBucket --name MyFile.txt

Are you sure you want to delete this resource? [y/N]: y

    The object is deleted with no further information returned.

    For a complete list of parameters and values for CLI commands, see the CLI Command Reference.

  • Run the DeleteObject operation to delete an object from a bucket.

    Object Storage prepends the Object Storage namespace string and bucket name to the object name when constructing a URL for use with the API: 

    /n/object_storage_namespace/b/bucket/o/object_name

    The object name is everything after the /o/, which could include hierarchy levels and prefix strings.
