How to delete an Object Storage bucket

This guide walks you through deleting an Object Storage bucket using the Azion Console, Azion API, and Azion CLI.

Deleting a bucket

In the Azion Console, you can delete a bucket by following these steps:

Access the Object Storage menu in the Products menu.
On the Object Storage page, click on the bucket you want to delete.
On the bucket page, click the Settings button.
In Danger Zone, you can permanently delete the bucket. Note: You cannot delete a bucket that is not empty. Additionally, objects deleted in the last 24 hours are also taken into account.

Requirements

To delete a bucket:

azion delete edge-storage bucket --name yourbucketname

Run the following DELETE request in your terminal, replacing [TOKEN VALUE] with your personal token and bucket_name with the name of the bucket you want to delete:

curl --location --request DELETE 'https://api.azion.com/v4/storage/buckets/bucket_name' \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Token [TOKEN VALUE]'

You’ll receive a response similar to this:

/{"state":"executed","data":{"name":"bucketname","edge_access":"read_only"}}%
