Using https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-python/tree/master/storage or https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/appengine-gcs-client, I can delete a files by specifying its file name, but there seems not to be ways to delete folders.
Is there any ways to delete folders ?
I found this(Google Cloud Storage: How to Delete a folder (recursively) in Python) in stackvoerflow, but this answer simply deletes all the files in the folder, not deleting the folder itself.
The code mentioned in the anwser you referred works, the prefix should look like this:
from google.cloud import storage
storage_client = storage.Client()
bucket = storage_client.get_bucket('my-bucket')
blobs = bucket.list_blobs(prefix='my-folder/')
for blob in blobs:
blob.delete()from google.cloud import storage
def delete_storage_folder(bucket_name, folder):
"""
This function deletes from GCP Storage
:param bucket_name: The bucket name in which the file is to be placed
:param folder: Folder name to be deleted
:return: returns nothing
"""
cloud_storage_client = storage.Client()
bucket = cloud_storage_client.bucket(bucket_name)
try:
bucket.delete_blobs(blobs=list(bucket.list_blobs(prefix=folder)))
except Exception as e:
print(str(e.message))
