Delete Archive (DELETE archive)
Description
This operation deletes an archive from a vault. Subsequent requests to initiate a retrieval of this archive will fail. Archive retrievals that are in progress for this archive ID may or may not succeed according to the following scenarios:
If the archive retrieval job is actively preparing the data for download when Amazon Glacier receives the delete archive request, the archival retrieval operation might fail.
If the archive retrieval job has successfully prepared the archive for download when Amazon Glacier receives the delete archive request, you will be able to download the output.
For more information about archive retrieval, see Downloading an Archive in Amazon Glacier. This operation is idempotent. Attempting to delete an already-deleted archive does not result in an error.
Requests
To delete an archive you send a DELETE request to the archive resource
URI.
