5. Confirm the information and click OK to create an authorization policy.
   

   By default, there is a policy that authorizes the current account and all member accounts. Do not delete this policy. Otherwise, access to OBS buckets will be affected.

Bucket Fragment Management

1. Log in to the GaussDB(DWS) console.
2. In the navigation tree, choose Data > Data Integration > Data Bucket Management.
3. In the data bucket list, select the bucket whose fragments are to be cleared and choose More > Fragments Cleanup in the Operation column. The fragment list is displayed.
4. Select the fragment to be cleared and click Delete. The fragment will be deleted after your confirmation. You can also click One-Click Fragment Cleanup to delete all fragments. Deleting all fragments takes some time. Wait for a while and check the clearing result.
