Remove the container
Containers containing no more than 500,000 objects (including object segments), can be deleted via the control panel. Containers with a large number of objects can only be deleted via the API.
It may take up to 24 hours to remove the container. During the removal process, you must not do anything with the container other than deletion stops.
If versioning is enabled in a container, the versioned container will not be automatically deleted — it must be manually deleted.
Objects in the container are deleted one by one. While a container is being deleted, outgoing traffic and storage capacity of objects that have not yet been deleted are charged. DELETE requests are not charged. For more information about charging and consumption, see the instructions Object storage fee and pricing model.
