AWS SDK Version 3 for .NET
API Reference

AWS services or capabilities described in AWS Documentation may vary by region/location. Click Getting Started with Amazon AWS to see specific differences applicable to the China (Beijing) Region.

Removes an object from a bucket. The behavior depends on the bucket's versioning state. For more information, see Best practices to consider before deleting an object.

To remove a specific version, you must use the versionId query parameter. Using this query parameter 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 and to see example requests, see Using MFA delete and Sample request in the Amazon S3 User Guide.

  • S3 Versioning isn't enabled and supported for directory buckets. For this API operation, only the null value of the version ID is supported by directory buckets. You can only specify null to the versionId query parameter in the request.

  • For directory buckets, you must make requests for this API operation to the Zonal endpoint. These endpoints support virtual-hosted-style requests in the format https://bucket_name.s3express-az_id.region.amazonaws.com/key-name. Path-style requests are not supported. For more information, see Regional and Zonal endpoints in the Amazon S3 User Guide.

  • MFA delete is not supported by directory buckets.

Permissions
  • General purpose bucket permissions - The following permissions are required in your policies when your DeleteObjects request includes specific headers.

    • s3:DeleteObject - To delete an object from a bucket, you must always have the s3:DeleteObject permission.

      You can also use PutBucketLifecycle to delete objects in Amazon S3.

    • s3:DeleteObjectVersion - To delete a specific version of an object from a versioning-enabled bucket, you must have the s3:DeleteObjectVersion permission.

    • 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 permissions.

  • Directory buckets permissions - To grant access to this API operation on a directory bucket, we recommend that you use the CreateSession API operation for session-based authorization.

HTTP Host header syntax

Directory buckets - The HTTP Host header syntax is Bucket_name.s3express-az_id.region.amazonaws.com.

The following action is related to DeleteObject:

Note:

For .NET Core this operation is only available in asynchronous form. Please refer to DeleteObjectAsync.

Namespace: Amazon.S3
Assembly: AWSSDK.S3.dll
Version: 3.x.y.z

Syntax

C#
public virtual DeleteObjectResponse DeleteObject(
         String bucketName,
         String key,
         String versionId
)

Parameters

bucketName
Type: System.String

The bucket name of the bucket containing the object. Directory buckets - When you use this operation with a directory bucket, you must use virtual-hosted-style requests in the format Bucket_name.s3express-az_id.region.amazonaws.com. Path-style requests are not supported. Directory bucket names must be unique in the chosen Availability Zone. Bucket names must follow the format bucket_base_name--az-id--x-s3 (for example, DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET--usw2-az1--x-s3). For information about bucket naming restrictions, see Directory bucket naming rules in the Amazon S3 User Guide. Access points - When you use this action with an access point, you must provide the alias of the access point in place of the bucket name or specify the access point ARN. When using the access point ARN, you must direct requests to the access point hostname. The access point hostname takes the form AccessPointName-AccountId.s3-accesspoint.Region.amazonaws.com. When using this action with an access point through the Amazon Web Services SDKs, you provide the access point ARN in place of the bucket name. For more information about access point ARNs, see Using access points in the Amazon S3 User Guide. Access points and Object Lambda access points are not supported by directory buckets. S3 on Outposts - When you use this action with Amazon S3 on Outposts, you must direct requests to the S3 on Outposts hostname. The S3 on Outposts hostname takes the form AccessPointName-AccountId.outpostID.s3-outposts.Region.amazonaws.com. When you use this action with S3 on Outposts through the Amazon Web Services SDKs, you provide the Outposts access point ARN in place of the bucket name. For more information about S3 on Outposts ARNs, see What is S3 on Outposts? in the Amazon S3 User Guide.

key
Type: System.String

Key name of the object to delete.

versionId
Type: System.String

Version ID used to reference a specific version of the object. For directory buckets in this API operation, only the null value of the version ID is supported.

Return Value


The response from the DeleteObject service method, as returned by S3.
