DeleteBucket Method

Deletes a bucket.

Syntax

backblazeb2.deleteBucket(bucketId, [callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This method deletes the bucket specified by BucketId. A bucket must be completely empty to be deleted.

Note that bucket names are global, and it may not be possible to recreate a deleted bucket if its name is taken by another user in the meantime.

The currently-authenticated application key must have the deleteBuckets capability to call this method successfully, otherwise the server will return an error. Refer to the AccountCapabilities property for more information.
