Delete object

delete

/v1/{account}/{container}/{object}

Permanently deletes an object from the object store.

Request

Path Parameters
  • The unique name for the account. An account is also known as the project or tenant.
  • The unique name for the container. The container name must be from 1 to 256 characters long and can start with any character and contain any pattern. Character set must be UTF-8. The container name cannot contain a slash (/) character because this character delimits the container and object name. For example, /account/container/object.
  • The unique name for the object.
Query Parameters
  • If you include the multipart-manifest=delete query parameter and the object is a static large object, the segment objects and manifest object are deleted. If you omit the multipart-manifest=delete query parameter and the object is a static large object, the manifest object is deleted but the segment objects are not deleted.

    For a bulk delete, the response body looks the same as it does for a normal bulk delete. In contrast, a plain object DELETE response has an empty body.

  • Minimum Value: 0
    The date and time in UNIX Epoch time stamp format when the signature for temporary URLs expires.

    For example, 1440619048 is equivalent to Mon, Wed, 26 Aug 2015 19:57:28 GMT.

  • Used with temporary URLs to sign the request with an HMAC-SHA1 cryptographic signature that defines the allowed HTTP method, expiration date, full path to the object, and the secret key for the temporary URL.
Header Parameters
  • Authentication token. Not specified if temp_url_sig and temp_url_expires are present. Otherwise, if you omit this header, your request fails unless the account owner has granted you access through an access control list (ACL).

Supported Media Types

Headers
  • Minimum Value: 0
    Maximum Value: 0
    This value is zero (0)
  • The MIME type of the object.
  • The transaction date and time.

    The date and time stamp format is ISO 8601:

    CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss±hh:mm
    For example, 2015-08-27T09:49:58-05:00.

    The ±hh:mm value, if included, is the time zone as an offset from UTC. In the previous example, the offset value is -05:00.

    A null value indicates that the token never expires.

  • Minimum Value: 0
    The date and time in UNIX Epoch time stamp format when the account, container, or object was initially created as a current version.

    For example, 1440619048 is equivalent to Mon, Wed, 26 Aug 2015 19:57:28 GMT.

  • A unique transaction ID for this request. Your service provider might need this value if you report a problem.

401 Response

Request does not include an authentication token, or authentication token specified in the request is not valid. It may have expired. Authentication tokens expire after 30 minutes.
Headers

403 Response

Forbidden. Possible causes:
  • A data center has not been selected for your service in Oracle Cloud My Services.
  • The request was sent to an incorrect data center. For example, the data center for your service is Chicago (us2), but the request was sent to the URL corresponding to the Ashburn (us6) data center.
  • You don't have the required permission to perform the operation on the specified container. For example, there may be a change in the roles assigned to your user or the access privileges defined for the container specified in the request.
  • The specified operation is not permitted for archive objects or containers with storage class Archive
  • Violating a container or object level WORM policy by trying to PUT, POST, or DELETE an object that has not expired or trying to update an existing container level WORM policy.
Headers

404 Response

The object does not exist or has just been created and hasn't been replicated across all three nodes.
