Deleting a Bucket (SDK for Python)

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 deleted from OBS cannot be recovered on Huawei Cloud. Exercise caution when using this API.

Restrictions

Only empty buckets can be deleted. An empty bucket means that:
- The bucket does not contain any object (including noncurrent 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.
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.

Method

ObsClient.deleteBucket(bucketName)

Request Parameters

**Table 1** List of request parameters
Parameter	Type	Mandatory (Yes/No)	Description
bucketName	str	Yes	Explanation: Bucket name Restrictions: A bucket name must be unique across all accounts and regions. A bucket name: Must be 3 to 63 characters long and start with a digit or letter. Lowercase letters, digits, hyphens (-), and periods (.) are allowed. Cannot be formatted as an IP address. Cannot start or end with a hyphen (-) or period (.). Cannot contain two consecutive periods (..), for example, my..bucket. Cannot contain periods (.) and hyphens (-) adjacent to each other, for example, my-.bucket or my.-bucket. If you repeatedly create buckets of the same name in the same region, no error will be reported and the bucket properties comply with those set in the first creation request. Default value: None

Responses

**Table 2** List of returned results
Type	Description
GetResult	Explanation: SDK common results

**Table 3** GetResult
Parameter	Type	Description
status	int	Explanation: HTTP status code Value range: A status code is a group of digits ranging from 2xx (indicating successes) to 4xx or 5xx (indicating errors). It indicates the status of a response. For more information, see Status Code. Default value: None
reason	str	Explanation: Reason description. Default value: None
errorCode	str	Explanation: Error code returned by the OBS server. If the value of status is less than 300, this parameter is left blank. Default value: None
errorMessage	str	Explanation: Error message returned by the OBS server. If the value of status is less than 300, this parameter is left blank. Default value: None
requestId	str	Explanation: Request ID returned by the OBS server Default value: None
indicator	str	Explanation: Error indicator returned by the OBS server. Default value: None
hostId	str	Explanation: Requested server ID. If the value of status is less than 300, this parameter is left blank. Default value: None
resource	str	Explanation: Error source (a bucket or an object). If the value of status is less than 300, this parameter is left blank. Default value: None
header	list	Explanation: Response header list, composed of tuples. Each tuple consists of two elements, respectively corresponding to the key and value of a response header. Default value: None
body	object	Explanation: Result content returned after the operation is successful. If the value of status is larger than 300, this parameter is left blank. The value varies with the API being called. For details, see Bucket-Related APIs (SDK for Python) and Object-Related APIs (SDK for Python). Default value: None

Code Examples

This example deletes bucket examplebucket.

    
     
       
       
         from obs import ObsClient
import os
import traceback

# Obtain an AK and SK pair using environment variables or import the AK and SK pair in other ways. Using hard coding may result in leakage.
# Obtain an AK and SK pair on the management console. For details, see https://support.huaweicloud.com/eu/usermanual-ca/ca_01_0003.html.
ak = os.getenv("AccessKeyID")
sk = os.getenv("SecretAccessKey")
# (Optional) If you use a temporary AK and SK pair and a security token to access OBS, obtain them from environment variables.
security_token = os.getenv("SecurityToken")
# Set server to the endpoint corresponding to the bucket. Here uses EU-Dublin as an example. Replace it with the one in use.
server = "https://obs.eu-west-101.myhuaweicloud.eu" 

# Create an obsClient instance.
# If you use a temporary AK and SK pair and a security token to access OBS, you must specify security_token when creating an instance.
obsClient = ObsClient(access_key_id=ak, secret_access_key=sk, server=server)
try:
    bucketName="examplebucket"
    # Delete the bucket.
    resp = obsClient.deleteBucket(bucketName)
    # If status code 2xx is returned, the API is called successfully. Otherwise, the API call fails.
    if resp.status < 300:
        print('Delete Bucket Succeeded')
        print('requestId:', resp.requestId)
    else:
        print('Delete Bucket Failed')
        print('requestId:', resp.requestId)
        print('errorCode:', resp.errorCode)
        print('errorMessage:', resp.errorMessage)
except:
    print('Delete Bucket Failed')
    print(traceback.format_exc())
