Issue description
When trying to delete several files simultaneously, you see this error:
message: ; status: 429; description: ; code: undefined; Request ID: undefined; Trace ID: undefined;
Solution
This error tells you are sending too many requests. When this error occurs, we recommend reducing the frequency of calls to Object Storage.
Note
You can see all the error codes and API Object Storage responses in the documentation.
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 having the my-folder/ prefix in my-bucket:
aws s3 --endpoint-url=https://storage.yandexcloud.net rm s3://my-bucket/my-folder/ --recursive
A guide for installing and configuring the AWS CLI is also available in our documentation.
