DeleteObject Method

Deletes an object.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int DeleteObject(const char* lpszObjectName);

Unicode (Windows)
INT DeleteObject(LPCWSTR lpszObjectName);
- (void)deleteObject:(NSString*)objectName;
#define MID_IBMSTORAGE_DELETEOBJECT 13

IPWORKSCLOUD_EXTERNAL int IPWORKSCLOUD_CALL IPWorksCloud_IBMStorage_Do(void *lpObj, int methid, int cparam, void *param[], int cbparam[], int64 *lpllVal);

Remarks

This method deletes the object specified by ObjectName in the bucket currently selected by Bucket.

If the VersionId property is non-empty, this method deletes the specified version of the object instead.

Deleting Versioned Objects

If a bucket has versioning enabled (i.e., VersioningEnabled returns true when queried), and this method is called on an object rather than a specific object version, then instead of actually deleting any data, the server will simply create a special object version called a delete marker.

If an object's latest version is a delete marker, then the server treats the object as if it didn't exist (i.e., it doesn't appear when listing objects, cannot be downloaded, etc.). However, all of the previous versions of the object (including one that existed just before the delete marker was created) still exist; they can be listed using ListVersions, and explicitly interacted with by setting VersionId and calling an appropriate method.

To permanently delete objects in a versioning-enabled bucket, each version of the object must be explicitly deleted by setting VersionId before calling this method. This includes any delete marker versions, which can be deleted like any other version.

Refer to Amazon's Deleting Object Versions, Working with Delete Markers, and Removing Delete Markers articles for more information.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)
