Class DeleteObjectCommandProtected

Removes the null version (if there is one) of an object and inserts a delete marker, which becomes the latest version of the object. If there isn't a null version, Amazon S3 does not remove any objects but will still respond that the command was successful.

To remove a specific version, you must be the bucket owner and you must use the version Id subresource. Using this subresource permanently deletes the version. If the object deleted is a delete marker, Amazon S3 sets the response header, x-amz-delete-marker, to true.

If the object you want to delete is in a bucket where the bucket versioning configuration is MFA Delete enabled, you must include the x-amz-mfa request header in the DELETE versionId request. Requests that include x-amz-mfa must use HTTPS.

For more information about MFA Delete, see Using MFA Delete. To see sample requests that use versioning, see Sample Request.

You can delete objects by explicitly calling DELETE Object or configure its lifecycle (PutBucketLifecycle) to enable Amazon S3 to remove them for you. If you want to block users or accounts from removing or deleting objects from your bucket, you must deny them the s3:DeleteObject, s3:DeleteObjectVersion, and s3:PutLifeCycleConfiguration actions.

The following action is related to DeleteObject:

const client = new S3Client(config);
const input = {
  Bucket: "STRING_VALUE", // required
  Key: "STRING_VALUE", // required
  MFA: "STRING_VALUE",
  VersionId: "STRING_VALUE",
  RequestPayer: "requester",
  BypassGovernanceRetention: true || false,
  ExpectedBucketOwner: "STRING_VALUE",
};
const command = new DeleteObjectCommand(input);
const response = await client.send(command);
