Deleting a Bucket

If you have any questions during development, post them on the Issues page of GitHub. For details about parameters and usage of each API, see the API Reference.

You can call ObsClient.deleteBucket to delete a bucket. Sample code is as follows:

// Import the OBS library.
// Use npm to install the client.
var ObsClient = require('esdk-obs-nodejs');
// Use the source code to install the client.
// var ObsClient = require('./lib/obs');

// Create an ObsClient instance.
var obsClient = new ObsClient({
       //Obtain an AK/SK pair using environment variables or import the AK/SK pair in other ways. Using hard coding may result in leakage.
       //Obtain an AK/SK pair on the management console. For details, see https://support.huaweicloud.com/intl/en-us/usermanual-ca/ca_01_0003.html.
       access_key_id: process.env.ACCESS_KEY_ID,
       secret_access_key: process.env.SECRET_ACCESS_KEY,
       server : 'https://your-endpoint'
});

// Delete a bucket.
obsClient.deleteBucket({
       Bucket : 'bucketname'
}, (err, result) => {
       if(err){
              console.error('Error-->' + err);
       }else{
              console.log('Status-->' + result.CommonMsg.Status);
       }
});

After being deleted, there is a 30 minute delay before the name of the deleted bucket can be used as that of a new bucket or parallel file system in other regions.

• Only empty buckets (without objects and part fragments) can be deleted.
• Bucket deletion is a non-idempotence operation and will fail if the to-be-deleted bucket does not exist.
