In the control panel of Spaces I am trying to delete folders with 3-4 files but it either spins for a very long time or not deleting them at all. Same happens with files sometimes.
I’ve seen same behavior in S3 panel when I try to delete something (especially with their Buckets, takes forever for just a few hundred GBs). I guess there is some generic problem with object storage facilities but if it is so please at least add some explanation so we can know/understand what to expect or how to use this infrastructure. This is really frustrating, I am trying to migrate from S3 and need to handle a few terabytes but it’s hard to test out how stuff work if I cannot do a simple thing as deleting a folder with 3 files in it.

And yes, until today the problem still not fixed, what is wrong with them ? Took me 3 second per file to delete in bulk, there is thousands of files, make a calculate, very very very long time to wait, and so I refresh to hope it stop so I’ll find another way, but after I refreshed, it didn’t stop, it just keep deleting, 3 sec per file, that is so shit, there is no stop button, i’m stuck with this, and i’m sick with this
Same problem at the moment, doing some testing from localhost on very small and few files, currently taken 10 minutes and still going strong to delete 500mb worth of data shared amongst 37 files.
Literally a full-stop in the testing process until it completes.
Edit: Seems like deleting them one by one is instant, like you expect, it’s the bulk delete that’s taking insanely long.
Can’t we delete the file in digital ocean spaces? if I can’t delete the file like DropBox, we will go with DropBox. I was trying to delete the file and folder it is taking forever to delete the file or folder.
