Can not delete empty bucket again and again

Can not delete empty bucket again. I have the feeling this issue is hunting me due to I have it again and again.

I am using gateway gateway:94113ad-v1.2.0-go1.15.7
Filezilla 3.54.1

I tried it via Filezilla, WebInterface and S3 API. Nothing works.


Force option also not work

Uplink rb --force will work :wink:

You need to also list your pending multipart uploads. Those likely have not been deleted yet. And do not show up with a standard ls.

How to do this ???

20 character

aws s3api list-multipart-uploads --bucket s3://test --endpoint=http://192.168.0.4:7777/

But if you just want to remove it, using uplink like @littleskunk mentioned is much easier. Is there any reason you are using the aws cli tool instead of connecting directly with uplink?

the command does not work

Yes I am using a central gateway on my homwserver

You didn’t include --bucket in front of the bucket name.

Does also not work

Yeah, s3:// is excess in the aws s3api, they accept only the bucket name in the command with option --bucket

aws s3api list-multipart-uploads --bucket test --endpoint=http://192.168.0.4:7777

Ok however there is nothing. the bucket is empty.
Please fix the bug. I think it is present sind 1 year

The bucket is empty. Is is also not possible to delete this bucket via Web


The aws CLI forcibly delete a bucket by deleting every file in the bucket, then the bucket itself.
It cannot delete a whole bucket at once by design.

The Objects browser cannot delete non-empty buckets too.

If you uploaded anything with a different encryption phrase and this phrase is lost, these objects would not be shown in the bucket with a different encryption phrase.

In such a case you can list and remove these files only with uplink and --encrypted flag, or you can remove a whole bucket with uplink rb --force sj://test command (it deletes a bucket at once, not the object by object like aws CLI).

So, please, if you do not have uplink yet, or uplink ls doesn’t work anymore (“access denied”):

  1. Create an access grant
  2. Setup uplink with that access grant, if you already have a default access in the uplink, you can either use --overwrite flag to overwrite the default access or import a new access grant as a named access (specify the name for the access with --access <name> option).

Now you can list buckets

uplink ls

and objects in that particular bucket

uplink ls --recursive sj://test

If the output is empty, then you definitely have used a different encryption phrase when uploaded objects to there. You can check this:

uplink ls --encrypted sj://test

Then delete encrypted objects one by one:

uplink rm --encrypted sj://test/An1LhSLauz-ROF8oLgLV1UrafXZVUm3HEtU8irR8il4oFI9Xqzc=

Or delete a whole bucket:

uplink rb --force sj://test

Yes I think this is the root cause of my problem. I deleted the bucket with. Uplink thanks for help
