Deleting Objects

Deleting a Single Object

You can call ObsClient.DeleteObject to delete a single object. Sample code is as follows:

// Initialize configuration parameters.
ObsConfig config = new ObsConfig();
config.Endpoint = "https://your-endpoint";
// Hard-coded or plaintext AK/SK are risky. For security purposes, encrypt your AK/SK and store them in the configuration file or environment variables. In this example, the AK/SK are stored in environment variables for identity authentication. Before running this example, configure environment variables AccessKeyID and SecretAccessKey.
// Obtain an AK/SK pair on the management console. For details, see https://support.huaweicloud.com/eu/usermanual-ca/ca_01_0003.html.
string accessKey= Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AccessKeyID", EnvironmentVariableTarget.Machine);
string secretKey= Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("SecretAccessKey", EnvironmentVariableTarget.Machine);
// Create an instance of ObsClient.
ObsClient client = new ObsClient(accessKey, secretKey, config);
// Delete an object.
try
{
    DeleteObjectRequest request = new DeleteObjectRequest()
    {
        BucketName = "bucketname",
        ObjectKey = "objectname",
    };
    DeleteObjectResponse response = client.DeleteObject(request);
    Console.WriteLine("Delete object response: {0}", response.StatusCode);
}
catch (ObsException ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine("ErrorCode: {0}", ex.ErrorCode);
    Console.WriteLine("ErrorMessage: {0}", ex.ErrorMessage);
} 

Batch Deleting Objects

You can call ObsClient.DeleteObjects to delete objects in a batch.

A maximum of 1000 objects can be deleted each time. Two response modes are supported: verbose (detailed) and quiet (brief).

• In verbose mode (default mode), the returned response includes the deletion result of each requested object.
• In quiet mode, the returned response includes only results of objects failed to be deleted.

Sample code:

// Initialize configuration parameters.
ObsConfig config = new ObsConfig();
config.Endpoint = "https://your-endpoint";
// Hard-coded or plaintext AK/SK are risky. For security purposes, encrypt your AK/SK and store them in the configuration file or environment variables. In this example, the AK/SK are stored in environment variables for identity authentication. Before running this example, configure environment variables AccessKeyID and SecretAccessKey.
// Obtain an AK/SK pair on the management console. For details, see https://support.huaweicloud.com/eu/usermanual-ca/ca_01_0003.html.
string accessKey= Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AccessKeyID", EnvironmentVariableTarget.Machine);
string secretKey= Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("SecretAccessKey", EnvironmentVariableTarget.Machine);
// Create an instance of ObsClient.
ObsClient client = new ObsClient(accessKey, secretKey, config);
// Delete objects in a batch.
try
{
    DeleteObjectsRequest request = new DeleteObjectsRequest();
    request.BucketName = "bucketname";
    request.Quiet = true;
    request.AddKey("objectname1");
    request.AddKey("objectname2");
    DeleteObjectsResponse response = client.DeleteObjects(request);
    Console.WriteLine("Delete objects response: {0}", response.StatusCode);
}
catch (ObsException ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine("ErrorCode: {0}", ex.ErrorCode);
    Console.WriteLine("ErrorMessage: {0}", ex.ErrorMessage);
}
