Python code for deleting files in buckets does not work. I had to re-write the code. The version I created (below) deletes all files from all buckets, so I don't recommend copying and pasting it directly, but it does work.
print("Retrieving bucket contents from: {0}".format(bucket_name))
returnArray = []
try:
files = cos.Bucket(bucket_name).objects.all()
for file in files:
print("Item: {0} ({1} bytes).".format(file.key, file.size))
returnArray.append(file.key)
except Exception as e:
print("Unable to retrieve bucket contents: {0}".format(e))
return returnArray
def delete_item(bucket_name, item_name):
print("Deleting item: {0}".format(item_name))
try:
cos.Object(bucket_name.name, item_name).delete()
print("Item: {0} deleted!".format(item_name))
except Exception as e:
print("Unable to delete item: {0}".format(e))
def main():
for bucket in cos.buckets.all():
deleteListArray = get_bucket_contents(bucket.name, 1000)
if len(deleteListArray) == 0:
print("Empty bucket")
for item_name in deleteListArray:
delete_item(bucket, item_name)
main()
