Troubleshooting Object Storage Object Versioning

Learn troubleshooting solutions for issues you might encounter using object versioning.

Unable to Enable Versioning

If enabling versioning fails, the most likely cause is missing or incomplete IAM permissions. Enabling versioning requires the following:

  • User permissions that let you use the bucket and manage the objects in that bucket.
  • Minimally, BUCKET_UPDATE permissions.

Review the existing policies that grant user permissions. For more information, see Required IAM Policies.

Unable to Delete a Bucket

If deleting a bucket fails, the most likely cause is that the bucket is not empty.

Caution

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
Tip

When you delete an object in a version-enabled bucket, a previous version of that object is created. Select Show Deleted Objects to display the object versions that might prevent you from deleting the bucket.

Unable to Delete a Previous Object Version

If deleting a previous object version fails, the most likely cause is missing or incomplete IAM permissions. Object version deletion requires the following:

  • User permissions that let you use the bucket and manage the objects in that bucket.
  • Minimally, OBJECT_VERSION_DELETE permissions.
