To clean up the inventory of VMware Cloud Director Object Storage Extension and to free storage space, you can delete a folder. By deleting a folder, you delete all objects in the folder.

Prerequisites

Verify that you have the required set of rights to empty a bucket.
  • If you are an organization administrator, you can delete folders that users in your organization own.
  • If you are an organization user, to delete a folder, you must be the owner of the bucket that stores the folder, or the owner must assign to your user account Bucket Read and Bucket Write permissions on the bucket.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the VMware Cloud Director tenant portal.
  2. From the More drop-down menu, select Object Storage.
  3. In the Buckets pane, click the name of the bucket that stores the folder that you want to delete.
  4. If versioning is active for the bucket, hide object versions by using the Show Versions toggle button.
  5. Select the folder that you want to delete.
  6. From the Actions drop-down menu, select Delete.
  7. If versioning is active for the bucket that stores the folder, you can optionally select the All versions check box.
    If you select the All versions check box, you delete all versions for all objects in the folder. If you do not select the check box, you delete only the latest versions of all objects in the folder.
  8. To confirm the deletion, select the Confirm deletion check box and click Delete.
