Deleting an Object Storage Bucket
Delete an Object Storage bucket.
The Console collects and provides a count of each resource that would prevent bucket deletion. Upon confirmation, the resources are deleted and the bucket is deleted in a single action. If you're deleting a bucket that contains one or more of these resources, consider using the Console to accomplish this task rather than one of the other methods.
You can't recover a deleted bucket. You can cancel a deletion in progress. However, resources deleted before the cancellation can’t be recovered. You can't delete a bucket that contains any of the following resources:
-
Objects and object versions
-
Pre-authenticated requests
-
Replication policy
- Uncommitted multi-part uploads
- On the Buckets list page, find the Object Storage bucket that you want to work with. If you need help finding the list page or the Object Storage bucket, see Listing Buckets.
- From the Actions menu for the bucket you want, select Delete.
- When prompted, confirm the deletion.
Use the oci os bucket delete command and required parameters to delete a bucket:
oci os bucket delete --name bucket_name [OPTIONS]For example:
