Deleting an Object

Deleting a Single Object

You can call deleteObject to delete a single object. Sample code is as follows:

Deleting Objects in a Batch

You can call deleteObjects to delete multiple objects in a batch.

A maximum of 1000 objects can be deleted each time. Two response modes are supported: verbose (detailed) and quiet (brief).

• In verbose mode (default mode), the returned response includes the deletion result of each requested object.
• In quiet mode, the returned response includes only results of objects failed to be deleted.

Sample code:

static OBSClient *client;
NSString *endPoint = @"https://your-endpoint";
// Hard-coded or plaintext AK and SK are risky. For security purposes, encrypt your AK and SK before storing them in the configuration file or environment variables. In this example, the AK and SK are stored in environment variables. Before running the code in this example, configure environment variables AccessKeyID and SecretAccessKey.
// 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.
char* ak_env = getenv("AccessKeyID");
char* sk_env = getenv("SecretAccessKey");
if (ak_env == NULL || sk_env == NULL) {
    NSLog(@"Error: AccessKeyID or SecretAccessKey environment variable not set");
    return;
}
NSString *AK = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:ak_env];
NSString *SK = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:sk_env];
    
// Initialize identity authentication.
OBSStaticCredentialProvider *credentialProvider = [[OBSStaticCredentialProvider alloc] initWithAccessKey:AK secretKey:SK];
    
//Initialize service configuration.
OBSServiceConfiguration *conf = [[OBSServiceConfiguration alloc] initWithURLString:endPoint credentialProvider:credentialProvider];
    
// Initialize an instance of OBSClient.
client = [[OBSClient alloc] initWithConfiguration:conf];
    
// Delete objects in a batch.
OBSDeleteObjectsRequest *deleteRequest = [[OBSDeleteObjectsRequest alloc] initWithBucketName:@"bucketname"];
    
// List of objects to be deleted
OBSObjectToDelete *object1 = [[OBSObjectToDelete alloc] initWithObjectKey:@"objectname1"];
OBSObjectToDelete *object2 = [[OBSObjectToDelete alloc] initWithObjectKey:@"objectname2"];
    
deleteRequest.objectList = @[object1,object2];
    
[client deleteObjects:deleteRequest completionHandler:^(OBSDeleteObjectsResponse *response, NSError *error) {
   for(int i=0;i<response.deletedList.count;i++){
       NSLog(@"%@\n",response.deletedList[i].key);
   }
}];
