| **1) IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO DELETE A BUCKET CONTAINING OBJECTS**.
* If you wish to delete a bucket, you must first empty it completely.

* Objects must be deleted using a third-party application, such as [Cyberduck](https://wiki.leviia.com/en/article/cyberduck-connect-your-leviia-object-storage-s3-compatible-4mfksy/) or [AWS CLI.](https://wiki.leviia.com/en/article/aws-cli-advanced-bucket-management-hh8wei/) This will depend on whether the bucket has been locked and whether a retention time has been set.

| **2) DELETING AN EMPTY BUCKET**
* Once your bucket no longer contains an object, you can delete it using the 3 dots or the bucket modification page.
* Deletion is irreversible and cannot be undone.
* Bucket names are unique at Leviia: if you delete the bucket, another Leviia user will be able to use this name.
* You will need to enter your bucket name to validate the deletion.
