I know cloudstorage.delete(filename) deletes a file, but I want delete a directory and all the files in it like cloudstorage.delete(dir) . Is there any ways to do this?

Hi @taichi-jp,

GCS doesn't behave like a filesystem and is a flat namespace similar to a key value pair. Directories/paths are simulated in the GCS browser.

In order to delete objects that have the same prefix or path, a delete request must be made per object in a bucket.
