NAME
gcloud storage rm - delete objects and buckets
SYNOPSIS
gcloud storage rm [URLS …] [--additional-headers=HEADER=VALUE] [--all-versions, -a] [--continue-on-error, -c] [--exclude-managed-folders] [--read-paths-from-stdin, -I] [--recursive, -R, -r] [--if-generation-match=GENERATION --if-metageneration-match=METAGENERATION] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG]
DESCRIPTION
Delete objects and buckets.
EXAMPLES
The following command deletes a Cloud Storage object named my-object from the bucket my-bucket:
gcloud storage rm gs://my-bucket/my-object

The following command deletes all objects directly within the directory my-dir but no objects within subdirectories:

gcloud storage rm gs://my-bucket/my-dir/*

The following command deletes all objects and subdirectories within the directory my-dir:

gcloud storage rm gs://my-bucket/my-dir/**

Note that for buckets that contain versioned objects, the above command only affects live versions. Use the --recursive flag instead to delete all versions.

The following command deletes all versions of all resources in my-bucket and then deletes the bucket.

gcloud storage rm --recursive gs://my-bucket/

The following command deletes all text files in the top-level of my-bucket, but not text files in subdirectories:

gcloud storage rm -recursive gs://my-bucket/*.txt

The following command deletes one wildcard expression per line passed in by stdin:

some_program | gcloud storage rm -I
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
[URLS …]
The URLs of the resources to delete.
FLAGS
--additional-headers=HEADER=VALUE
Includes arbitrary headers in storage API calls. Accepts a comma separated list of key=value pairs, e.g. header1=value1,header2=value2. Overrides the default storage/additional_headers property value for this command invocation.
--all-versions, -a
Delete all versions of an object.
--continue-on-error, -c
If any operations are unsuccessful, the command will exit with a non-zero exit status after completing the remaining operations. This flag takes effect only in sequential execution mode (i.e. processor and thread count are set to 1). Parallelism is default.
--exclude-managed-folders
Excludes managed folders from command operations. By default gcloud storage includes managed folders in recursive removals.
--read-paths-from-stdin, -I
Read the list of URLs from stdin.
--recursive, -R, -r
Recursively delete the contents of buckets or directories that match the path expression. If the path is set to a bucket, like gs://bucket, the bucket is also deleted. This option implies the --all-versions option. If you want to delete only live object versions, use the ``**´´ wildcard instead.
PRECONDITION FLAGS
--if-generation-match=GENERATION
Execute only if the generation matches the generation of the requested object.
--if-metageneration-match=METAGENERATION
Execute only if the metageneration matches the metageneration of the requested object.
GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
These flags are available to all commands: --access-token-file, --account, --billing-project, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format, --help, --impersonate-service-account, --log-http, --project, --quiet, --trace-token, --user-output-enabled, --verbosity.
