How to delete a directory from spaces

I found the answer on StackOverflow for anyone interested.

async function emptyS3Directory(bucket, dir) {
    const listParams = {
        Bucket: bucket,
        Prefix: dir
    };

    const listedObjects = await s3.listObjectsV2(listParams).promise();

    if (listedObjects.Contents.length === 0) return;

    const deleteParams = {
        Bucket: bucket,
        Delete: { Objects: [] }
    };

    listedObjects.Contents.forEach(({ Key }) => {
        deleteParams.Delete.Objects.push({ Key });
    });

    await s3.deleteObjects(deleteParams).promise();

    if (listedObjects.IsTruncated) await emptyS3Directory(bucket, dir);
}

Call it

await emptyS3Directory(process.env.S3_BUCKET, 'images/')

Hello, @mrtonyq22

You can easily delete the directory from your DigitalOcean account as well.

Just navigate to the Space in your account and then click the “More” button and select Delete

I personally use s3cmd to manage my Spaces due to the fact it is really user friendly. You can check this article in order to install s3cmd

https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/spaces/resources/s3cmd/

and check this mini tutorial on how to operate with s3cmd

An example command with s3cmd to delete a directory:

s3cmd del s3://newspace/test

Hope that this helps Regards, Alex
