Deleting a Bucket (SDK for Node.js)
If you have any questions during development, post them on the Issues page of GitHub.
Function
This API deletes an empty bucket. You can delete buckets you no longer use to free up space. The name of a deleted bucket can be reused for another bucket at least 30 minutes after the deletion.
The data you proactively deleted from OBS cannot be recovered. Exercise caution when using this API.
Restrictions
- Only empty buckets can be deleted. An empty bucket means that:
- The bucket does not contain any objects (including historical versions and delete markers).
- The bucket does not contain any fragments, which means that there are no multipart uploads that have not been completed in the bucket.
- Bucket deletion is a non-idempotence operation and will fail if the to-be-deleted bucket does not exist.
- To delete a bucket, you must be the bucket owner or have the required permission (obs:bucket:DeleteBucket in IAM or DeleteBucket in a bucket policy). For details, see Introduction to OBS Access Control, IAM Custom Policies, and Creating a Custom Bucket Policy.
