Delete image from Amazon S3 Storage

Question

I am trying to delete an image from Amazon S3 Storage, but it doesn't delete.

I am using following code:

var s3 = AWS.S3(awsCredentials);
s3.deleteObject({
  Bucket: MY_BUCKET,
  Key: myKey
},function (err,data){})

but images that I want to delete still persist.

I even used s3.deleteObjects function,it returns deleted object names, but when I checked the storage, the images were still there.

Solution 1

You have to use the key in this way and not just the name of the file that is to be deleted then it will work.

var s3 = AWS.S3(awsCredentials);
s3.deleteObject({
  Bucket: MY_BUCKET,
  Key: 'some/subfolders/nameofthefile1.extension'
},function (err,data){})

Solution 2

when you send the key dynamically, use local storage to store the key and send it dynamically to delete image

var s3 = AWS.S3(awsCredentials); 
s3.deleteObject({  
 Bucket: MY_BUCKET, 
 Key: 'yourFileKey' 
},function (err,data){})
