Deleting an Object Storage Object Version

Delete an object's version from an Object Storage bucket.

Deleting an object's version is permanent. You can't recover a deleted version. See Object Version Deletion for more information.

See Listing Object Versions in a Bucket for information on getting an object version's ID.

    1. On the Buckets list page, select the Object Storage bucket that you want to work with. If you need help finding the list page or the bucket, see Listing Buckets.
    2. On the bucket's details page, select Objects.
      The Objects tab opens. All objects in the selected bucket are displayed in a table.
    3. Find the object you want to work with. For more information, see Listing Objects in a Bucket.
    4. From the Actions menu (three dots) of the object, select View versions.
      The Object version details panel opens. The latest version appears at the top of the list.
    5. From the Actions menu (three dots) for the object version, select Delete.
    6. When prompted, confirm the deletion.
    The version you deleted no longer appears in the object's list of versions.

  • Use the oci os object delete command and required parameters as described in Deleting an Object. Include the version-id parameter and version ID:

    oci os object delete --bucket-name bucket_name --name object_name --version-id version_id [OPTIONS]

    For example:

    oci os object delete --bucket-name MyStandardBucket --name MyTextDocument.txt delete --version-id 8d8f06ef-e0c2-4435-bea6-f7c3ec80a444 
Are you sure you want to delete this resource? [y/N]: y

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

  • Run the DeleteObject operation to delete an object from a bucket. Include the versionId attribute and the version ID.

    Object Storage prepends the Object Storage namespace string and bucket name to the object name when constructing a URL for use with the API: 

    /n/object_storage_namespace/b/bucket/o/object_name

    The object name is everything after the /o/, which could include hierarchy levels and prefix strings.
