Delete objects

Delete a single object

The following code provides an example on how to delete an object:

#include <alibabacloud/oss/OssClient.h>
using namespace AlibabaCloud::OSS;

int main(void)
{
     /* Initialize the OSS account information. */
    std::string AccessKeyId = "yourAccessKeyId";
    std::string AccessKeySecret = "yourAccessKeySecret";
    std::string Endpoint = "yourEndpoint";
    std::string BucketName = "yourBucketName";
    std::string ObjectName = "yourObjectName";

    /* Initialize network resources. */
    InitializeSdk();

    ClientConfiguration conf;
    OssClient client(Endpoint, AccessKeyId, AccessKeySecret, conf);

    /* ObjectName indicates the complete path of the object you want to delete from OSS. The path must include the file extension of the object. For example, set ObjectName to abc/efg/123.jpg. */
    /* To delete a folder, set ObjectName to the folder name. If the folder is not empty, you need to delete all objects in the folder before you can delete the folder. */
    DeleteObjectRequest request(BucketName, ObjectName);

    /* Delete the object. */
    auto outcome = client.DeleteObject(request);

    if (! outcome.isSuccess()) {
        /* Handle exceptions. */
        std::cout << "DeleteObject fail" <<
        ",code:" << outcome.error().Code() <<
        ",message:" << outcome.error().Message() <<
        ",requestId:" << outcome.error().RequestId() << std::endl;
        ShutdownSdk();
        return -1;
    }

    /* Release network resources. */
    ShutdownSdk();
    return 0;
}

Delete multiple objects

A maximum of 1,000 objects can be deleted each time. The deletion results can be returned in the following two modes:

• verbose: returns a list of deleted objects. The default mode is verbose.
• quiet: returns a list of objects that you failed to delete.

The following code provides an example on how to delete multiple objects at a time:

#include <alibabacloud/oss/OssClient.h>
using namespace AlibabaCloud::OSS;

int main(void)
{
     /* Initialize the OSS account information. */
    std::string AccessKeyId = "yourAccessKeyId";
    std::string AccessKeySecret = "yourAccessKeySecret";
    std::string Endpoint = "yourEndpoint";
    std::string BucketName = "yourBucketName";
    std::string ObjectName = "yourObjectName";

    /* Initialize network resources. */
    InitializeSdk();

    ClientConfiguration conf;
    OssClient client(Endpoint, AccessKeyId, AccessKeySecret, conf);

    DeleteObjectsRequest request(BucketName);
    /* Add the names of the objects that you want to delete. */
    request.addKey(ObjectName);

    /* Delete the objects. */
    auto outcome = client.DeleteObjects(request);

    if (! outcome.isSuccess()) {
        /* Handle exceptions. */
        std::cout << "DeleteObjects fail" <<
        ",code:" << outcome.error().Code() <<
        ",message:" << outcome.error().Message() <<
        ",requestId:" << outcome.error().RequestId() << std::endl;
        ShutdownSdk();
        return -1;
    }

    /* Release network resources. */
    ShutdownSdk();
    return 0;
}

Delete objects whose names contain a specified prefix

The following code provides an example on how to delete objects whose names contain a specified prefix:

#include <alibabacloud/oss/OssClient.h>
using namespace AlibabaCloud::OSS;

int main(void)
{
    /* Initialize the OSS account information. */
    std::string AccessKeyId = "yourAccessKeyId";
    std::string AccessKeySecret = "yourAccessKeySecret";
    std::string Endpoint = "yourEndpoint";
    std::string BucketName = "yourBucketName";
    std::string keyPrefix = "yourkeyPrefix";

    /* Initialize network resources. */
    InitializeSdk();

    ClientConfiguration conf;
    OssClient client(Endpoint, AccessKeyId, AccessKeySecret, conf);

    std::string nextMarker = "";

    do {
            /* List the objects. */
            ListObjectsRequest request(BucketName);
            /* Specify the prefix. */
            request.setPrefix(keyPrefix);
            request.setMarker(nextMarker);
            auto outcome = client.ListObjects(request);

            if (! outcome.isSuccess()) {    
                /* Handle exceptions. */
                std::cout << "ListObjects fail" <<
                ",code:" << outcome.error().Code() <<
                ",message:" << outcome.error().Message() <<
                ",requestId:" << outcome.error().RequestId() << std::endl;
                break;
            }
            for (const auto& object : outcome.result().ObjectSummarys()) {
                DeleteObjectRequest request(BucketName, object.Key());
                /* Delete the objects. */
                auto delResult = client.DeleteObject(request);
            }      
            nextMarker = outcome.result().NextMarker();
    } while (outcome.result().IsTruncated());

    /* Release network resources. */
    ShutdownSdk();
    return 0;
}
