Delete bucket

Updated at：2025-11-03

Basic workflow

Instantiate the BOSClient class.
Call the BOSClient.deleteBucket() method.
The deleteBucket() method does not return any value. If the deletion fails, an exception will be thrown.

Example code

                Java
                
                client.deleteBucket(<BucketName>);     //Specify bucket name

Note: A bucket cannot be deleted if it is not empty (i.e., it contains objects or unfinished multipart uploads). The bucket must be emptied before successful deletion.

            try {
                BosClientConfiguration config = new BosClientConfiguration();
                config.setCredentials(new DefaultBceCredentials(<AccessKeyID>, <SecretAccessKey>));
                config.setEndpoint(<EndPoint>);
                BosClient client = new BosClient(config);
 // Delete bucket
 client.deleteBucket(<BucketName>);     //Specify bucket name
            } catch (BceServiceException e) {
                System.out.println("Error ErrorCode: " + e.getErrorCode());
                System.out.println("Error RequestId: " + e.getRequestId());
                System.out.println("Error StatusCode: " + e.getStatusCode());
                System.out.println("Error Message: " + e.getMessage());
                System.out.println("Error ErrorType: " + e.getErrorType());
