Deleting a Bucket will permanently remove all objects inside and cannot be undone. Exercise caution when performing this action.

Empty a Bucket

The Empty Bucket feature allows you to delete all data in the bucket while preserving configuration information such as permissions and policies.

The processing time depends on the number of objects. Consider using the Delete Bucket feature if your bucket contains more than 1000 objects.

Add a New Folder

In the general Object Storage model and FPT Object Storage, there is no concept of a Folder as we typically use. Instead, there are only Buckets and Objects. However, the FPT Portal displays them in a folder-like structure for user convenience. Objects with the same path are grouped as a folder.

For example, if you have two objects with paths bucket_name/folder-1/object-1.txt and bucket_name/folder-1/object-2.txt, the FPT Portal will display object-1.txt and object-2.txt inside folder-1.

To create a new folder, follow these steps:

Step 1: In the Object Storage Management dashboard, select the bucket where you want to add a folder.

Step 2: Navigate to where you want to add the folder and select New folder.

Step 3: Enter the new folder's name and choose Create.
