delete S3 object

Question

I am using .net, and I am trying to delete an object from my S3 bucket. I tried the following:

Amazon.S3.AmazonS3Client client = new Amazon.S3.AmazonS3Client(Properties.Settings.Default.AmazonS3VideoSrcKey, Properties.Settings.Default.AmazonS3VideoSrcSecret);
client.DeleteObject(new Amazon.S3.Model.DeleteObjectRequest() { BucketName = "xxxx", Key = "http://....../filename"});

I dont get IsDeleteMarker true.

What can be wrong?

thanks

Solution

Does your keys have an http://... prefix?

My guess is that you are mistakenly passing a URL instead of a key. Your request should probably look more like this:

client.DeleteObject(new Amazon.S3.Model.DeleteObjectRequest() { BucketName = "xxxx", Key = "filename"});

S3 supports folders by simply supporting "/" as part of the key. so for instance a key can be "folder/filename". Therefore when I wrote "filename" in my answer I meant the key to the object
