You can upload an object in parts using multipart upload.
Note
To automatically delete partially loaded objects in Object Storage, configure a lifecycle rule.
To manually delete a partially uploaded object:
Management console
AWS CLI
API
- In the management console, select Object Storage from the list of services and go to the bucket that contains a partially uploaded object.
- In the left-hand panel, select Objects.
- To see all versions of objects in the list, enable Show versions to the right of the object search field in the bucket.
- Hover over the yellow field next to the object count.
- Click Show uploads as soon as it appears.
- Select incomplete uploads you want to delete.
- Click Delete.
- Confirm the deletion.
In the management console, the information about the number of objects and storage space used in the bucket is updated with a few minutes' delay.
If you do not have the AWS CLI yet, install and configure it.
Run this command:
aws --endpoint-url=https://storage.yandexcloud.net s3api abort-multipart-upload \
--bucket <bucket_name> \
--key <object_key> \
--upload-id <upload_ID>
If you do not know the upload ID (number), find it in the list of uploads.
aws --endpoint-url=https://storage.yandexcloud.net s3api list-multipart-uploads \
--bucket <bucket_name>
Use the abortUpload S3 API method.
