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 proactively deleted from OBS cannot be recovered. Exercise caution when using this API.

If you have any questions during development, post them on the Issues page of GitHub.

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

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>
