Delete Objects

When you delete one or more objects from a bucket, the files are permanently removed and not recoverable. You can delete a single object or multiple objects at once.

Deleting objects should always be done via the Storage API and NOT via a SQL query. Deleting objects via a SQL query will not remove the object from the bucket and will result in the object being orphaned.

Delete objects

To delete one or more objects, use the remove method.

import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js'
const supabase = createClient('your_project_url', 'your_supabase_api_key')

// ---cut---
await supabase.storage.from('bucket').remove(['object-path-2', 'folder/avatar2.png'])

When deleting objects, there is a limit of 1000 objects at a time using the remove method.

RLS

To delete an object, the user must have the delete permission on the object. For example:

create policy "User can delete their own objects"
on storage.objects
for delete
TO authenticated
USING (
    owner = (select auth.uid()::text)
);
