Remove files
Files can be removed from a storage bucket using the remove API. If a file is protected by an identity Id, only the user who owns the file will be able to remove it.
You can also perform a remove operation from a specific bucket by providing the target bucket's assigned name from Amplify Backend in bucket option.
import { remove } from 'aws-amplify/storage';
try { await remove({ path: 'album/2024/1.jpg', // Alternatively, path: ({identityId}) => `album/{identityId}/1.jpg` bucket: 'assignedNameInAmplifyBackend', // Specify a target bucket using name assigned in Amplify Backend });} catch (error) { console.log('Error ', error);}Alternatively, you can also pass in an object by specifying the bucket name and region from the console.
import { remove } from 'aws-amplify/storage';
try { await remove({ path: 'album/2024/1.jpg', // Alternatively, provide bucket name from console and associated region bucket: { bucketName: 'bucket-name-from-console', region: 'us-east-2' }
});} catch (error) { console.log('Error ', error);}More remove options
