Deleting a Bucket (SDK for Java)

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.
Only empty buckets (without objects and part fragments) can be deleted.
Bucket deletion is a non-idempotence operation and an error will be reported if the bucket you want to delete does not exist.

Method

obsClient.deleteBucket(String bucketName)

Request Parameters

**Table 1** List of request parameters
Parameter	Type	Mandatory (Yes/No)	Description
bucketName	String	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 attributes comply with those set in the first creation request. Default value: None

Responses

**Table 2** Common response headers
Parameter	Type	Description
statusCode	int	Explanation: HTTP status code. Value range: A status code is a group of digits that can be 2xx (indicating successes) or 4xx or 5xx (indicating errors). It indicates the status of a response. For more information, see Status Code. Default value: None
responseHeaders	Map<String, Object>	Explanation: HTTP response header list, composed of tuples. In a tuple, the String key indicates the name of the header, and the Object value indicates the value of the header. Default value: None

        String sk = System.getenv("SECRET_ACCESS_KEY_ID");
        // (Optional) If you are using a temporary AK/SK pair and a security token to access OBS, you are advised not to use hard coding, which may result in information leakage.
        // Obtain an AK/SK pair and a security token using environment variables or import them in other ways.
        // String securityToken = System.getenv("SECURITY_TOKEN");
        // Enter the endpoint corresponding to the bucket. CN-Hong Kong is used here as an example. Replace it with the one in your actual situation.
        String endPoint = "https://obs.ap-southeast-1.myhuaweicloud.com";

            // Request failed. Print the error details.
            System.out.println("Error Message: " + e.getErrorMessage());
            // Request failed. Print the request ID.
            System.out.println("Request ID:" + e.getErrorRequestId());
            System.out.println("Host ID:" + e.getErrorHostId());
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("DeleteBucket failed");
            // Print other error information.
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
