Object Deletion

This guide covers object deletion.

Requirements

• Install and configure rc before using the command-line workflow.
• Confirm the alias, bucket, and object key before deleting an object.

Using the RustFS UI

1. Log in to the RustFS Console.
2. Select the bucket containing the file to be deleted.
3. On the bucket page, select the file to be deleted.
4. Click Delete Selected Items in the upper right corner, then click Confirm in the popup dialog.

Using rc

Delete a file:

rc object remove rustfs/my-bucket/hello.txt
rc object list rustfs/my-bucket

Removed: rustfs/my-bucket/hello.txt
✓ Removed 1 object(s).

Verify the deletion in the RustFS Console.

Using the API

Delete a file via API:

DELETE /{bucketName}/{objectName} HTTP/1.1

S3 requests must be signed with AWS Signature V4, so use an S3 client rather than hand-crafting headers. With the AWS CLI configured for your access keys:

aws s3api delete-object \
  --bucket bucket-creation-by-api \
  --key hello.txt \
  --endpoint-url http://localhost:9000

Verify the deletion in the RustFS Console.
