Bulk Deleting Object Storage Objects

Delete a group of objects in a bucket or folder.

Using the CLI

Use the oci os object bulk-delete command and required parameters to delete a group of objects from a bucket:

oci os object bulk-delete --bucket-name bucket_name

For example:

oci os object bulk-delete --bucket-name MyBucket

WARNING: This command will delete 2 objects. Are you sure you wish to continue? [y/N]:

Deleted MyRenamedFile.txt [####################################] 100%
Deleted logFile.log [####################################] 100%

{
  "delete-failures": {},
  "deleted-objects": [
    "MyRenamedFile.txt",
    "logFile.log"
  ]
}

By default, all objects in the bucket are deleted. Use the Optional Parameters listed in the oci os object bulk-download page to specify what files in bulk to delete.

For a complete list of parameters and values for CLI commands, see the CLI Command Reference.
