How to Set BucketLifeCycleRule in Minio?

After creating a Minio bucket, I set the bucket's lifecycle rules. The LifeCycleRule takes up the expiration variable that is set for just 1 day. When checking the status of my bucket through minio client (mc), mc ilm ls mycloud/bucketName , I notice that the Lifecycle rule was successfully applied on to the designated bucket. However, when checking back on Minio after 1 day, the bucket is still there. Is there something else that I need to add to the LifeCycleRule in order to delete Minio Bucket properly?

Note, I've been using Minio SDKs Java Client API as reference.

fun createBucket(bucketName: String){
   client.makeBucket(MakeBucketArgs.builder().bucket(bucketName).build())
   setBucketLifeCycle(bucketName)
}

private fun setBucketLifeCycle(bucketName: String){

   // Setting the expiration for one day.
   val expiration = Expiration(null as ZonedDateTime?, 1, null)

   var lifeCycleRuleList = mutableListOf<LifecycleRule>()

   val lifecycleRuleExpiry = LifecycleRule(
     Status.ENABLED,
     null,
     expiration,
     RuleFilter("expiry/logs"),
     "rule 1",
     null,
     null,
     null)

   lifecycleRuleList.add(lifecycleRuleExpiry)
   var lifecycleConfig = LifecycleConfiguration(lifecycleRuleList)
 
   // Applies the lifecycleConfig on to target bucket.
   client.setBucketLifecycle(SetBucketLifecycleArgs.buider()
     .bucket(bucketName).config(lifecycleConfig).build())
}

Questions

• Am I missing something more on my LifeCycleRule?
• Could it be that the bucket does not get automatically deleted because it has objects inside of it?
  • I did notice on the minio client that when the bucket has items on it, mc rb mycloud/bucketName will fail to remove the the bucket, but forcing it with mc rb -force mycloud/bucketName will successfully remove it. Is there a way to speficy "force" on the lifecycle parameters?
