Issue description
When trying to delete multiple files simultaneously, you get this error:
message: ; status: 429; description: ; code: undefined; Request ID: undefined; Trace ID: undefined;
Solution
This error means you are sending too many requests. When this error occurs, we recommend accessing Object Storage less frequently.
Note
You can check all error codes and Object Storage API responses in this guide.
For bulk deletion of objects, we recommend using AWS CLI to recursively delete files with this command:
aws s3 --endpoint-url=https://storage.yandexcloud.net rm s3://bucket-name --recursive
You can also recursively delete all files with an identical prefix. The following command will delete all files prefixed with my-folder/ in my-bucket:
aws s3 --endpoint-url=https://storage.yandexcloud.net rm s3://my-bucket/my-folder/ --recursive
To learn how to install and configure the AWS CLI, see this guide.
