Delete Bucket

Deletes a bucket from Google Cloud Storage.

Common Properties​

  • Name - The custom name of the node.
  • Color - The custom color of the node.
  • Delay Before (sec) - Waits in seconds before executing the node.
  • Delay After (sec) - Waits in seconds after executing node.
  • Continue On Error - Automation will continue regardless of any error. The default value is false.
info

If the ContinueOnError property is true, no error is caught when the project is executed, even if a Catch node is used.

Inputs​

  • GCS Client Id - The client identifier obtained from the Connect node.
  • Bucket Name - The name of the bucket to be deleted.

How It Works​

The Delete Bucket node removes a bucket from Google Cloud Storage. When executed, the node:

  1. Validates the provided inputs (GCS Client Id, Bucket Name)
  2. Uses the existing storage client connection
  3. Deletes the specified bucket from Google Cloud Storage
  4. Operation completes with a 10-second timeout

Requirements​

  • A valid GCS Client Id from a successful Connect node execution
  • Valid bucket name that exists in Google Cloud Storage
  • Proper permissions to delete buckets in the specified project
  • The bucket must be empty before deletion (Google Cloud Storage requirement)

Error Handling​

The node will return specific errors in the following cases:

  • Empty or invalid GCS Client Id
  • Empty or invalid Bucket Name
  • Bucket does not exist
  • Bucket is not empty (contains objects)
  • Insufficient permissions to delete the bucket
  • Google Cloud Storage service errors
  • Operation timeout (after 10 seconds)

Usage Notes​

  • The bucket must be completely empty before it can be deleted
  • All objects in the bucket must be deleted first
  • This operation cannot be undone
  • Once a bucket is deleted, its name becomes available for reuse after a period of time
  • Make sure the authenticated account has the necessary permissions to delete buckets
  • The operation has a 10-second timeout for safety
  • Deleted buckets cannot be recovered
  • Consider using lifecycle policies for automatic cleanup instead of manual deletion
