8 Using the Appliance to Store and Retrieve Data
Deleting Files
Caution:
If you’ve enabled the check box to delete old file versions in the filesystem, then depending on the configuration settings, the older versions of the objects may be automatically removed from your account.The files in the filesystem are not deleted.
Note:
Deletion of archived objects may result in an early-deletion fee. For more information, go to https://cloud.oracle.com/storage and see the Pricing tab.Caution:
Don’t use the REST API, Java library, or any other client to retrieve, create, update, or delete objects in a container that’s mapped to a filesystem in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Storage Software Appliance. Doing so will cause the data in the appliance to become inconsistent with data in your storage service. You can’t recover from this inconsistency.
To prevent unauthorized users from retrieving, creating, updating, or deleting objects in a container that’s connected to a filesystem in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Storage Software Appliance, define custom roles, assign them to the appropriate container, assign the roles to only the users that should have access to the container, and specify only one of these users when defining the filesystem to be connected to the container.
