Overview
Folders can be deleted in batches via the console.
Note
- If the number of files in the folder is less than or equal to 10,000, the folder will be deleted immediately. If the number of files exceeds 10,000, the folder will be automatically deleted the next day via lifecycle rules;
- Infrequent access storage, infrequent access storage-multi-AZ, cold storage, and archive storage have the minimum storage duration restrictions. Early deletion will incur the minimum storage duration fees. For details, please refer to Charge Item Documentation;
- If you have enabled the recycle bin function, deleted archive storage class files will not enter the recycle bin;
- If selecting nested folders, carefully check the files within them to avoid accidental deletion;
- Deleting folders will permanently remove all files within them, which cannot be restored. This action may impact related users and services, so please proceed cautiously.
