Deleting a Bucket (SDK for Go)

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.
  • The mapping between OBS regions and endpoints must comply with what is listed in Regions and Endpoints.
