Using rcCopy Anchor Link

Delete a file:

rc object remove rustfs/my-bucket/hello.txt
rc object list rustfs/my-bucket

Removed: rustfs/my-bucket/hello.txt
✓ Removed 1 object(s).

Verify the deletion in the RustFS Console.

Using the APICopy Anchor Link

Delete a file via API:

DELETE /{bucketName}/{objectName} HTTP/1.1

S3 requests must be signed with AWS Signature V4, so use an S3 client rather than hand-crafting headers. With the AWS CLI configured for your access keys:

aws s3api delete-object \
  --bucket bucket-creation-by-api \
  --key hello.txt \
  --endpoint-url http://localhost:9000

Verify the deletion in the RustFS Console.
