Cloud Storage Gateway:DeleteGatewayFileShares

Last Updated:Nov 14, 2025

Deletes one or more file shares from a file gateway.

Operation description

Description

Warning
  • Deleting a file share interrupts services and data synchronization. Use this operation with caution.

  • Before you delete a Network File System (NFS) share, unmount it from the client. If you delete the share or the gateway before you unmount it, the mount target cannot be unmounted. Subsequent operations on the mount directory will freeze or become unresponsive.

  • Deleting a file share does not stop billing for the gateway. If you no longer need the gateway, call the DeleteGateway operation to delete the gateway and avoid further charges.

Test

RAM authorization

The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy. The table's columns are detailed below:

  • Action: The actions can be used in the Action element of RAM permission policy statements to grant permissions to perform the operation.

  • API: The API that you can call to perform the action.

  • Access level: The predefined level of access granted for each API. Valid values: create, list, get, update, and delete.

  • Resource type: The type of the resource that supports authorization to perform the action. It indicates if the action supports resource-level permission. The specified resource must be compatible with the action. Otherwise, the policy will be ineffective.

    • For APIs with resource-level permissions, required resource types are marked with an asterisk (*). Specify the corresponding Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) in the Resource element of the policy.

    • For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.

  • Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.

  • Dependent action: The dependent actions required to run the action. To complete the action, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform all dependent actions.
