Delete Vault (DELETE vault)
Description
This operation deletes a vault. Amazon Glacier will delete a vault only if there are no archives in the vault as per the last inventory and there have been no writes to the vault since the last inventory. If either of these conditions is not satisfied, the vault deletion fails (that is, the vault is not removed) and Amazon Glacier returns an error.
You can use the Describe Vault (GET vault) operation that provides vault information, including the number of archives in the vault; however, the information is based on the vault inventory Amazon Glacier last generated.
This operation is idempotent.
Requests
To delete a vault, send a DELETE request to the vault resource URI.
Syntax
DELETE /AccountId/vaults/VaultNameHTTP/1.1 Host: glacier.Region.amazonaws.com Date:DateAuthorization:SignatureValuex-amz-glacier-version: 2012-06-01
Note
The AccountId is the AWS Account ID. This value must match the AWS Account ID associated with the credentials used to sign the request. You can either specify AWS Account ID or optionally a '-' in which case Amazon Glacier uses the AWS Account ID associated with the credentials used to sign the request. If you specify your Account ID, do not include dashes in it.
