REQUEST: batch processing; deleting directories recursively

Question

Hello, Can you provide an operation to delete a directory object and all the objects under it with one HTTP request? Otherwise it becomes a pretty time-consuming and inefficient way to delete multiple objects. On the same note, is there any way of batch-processing operations on objects. i.e., instead of sending a single request on a single object, can we send the same operation for multiple objects or multiple operations on a single object? Again, this is very useful when processing thousands of objects. thanks, Navneeth

Navneeth, At this time there are no 'recursive' type commands to allow you to delete a directory and all the objects within it. Your application will need to list the objects and delete them individually. There are also no 'batch' processing capabilities at this time, although I would like to better understand use cases where these would be desirable features. Regards, Dave
