Deleting files

Deleting an object from a Filebase IPFS bucket unpins the underlying CID. The CID may still exist elsewhere on IPFS if other peers have pinned it, but Filebase no longer guarantees its availability.

Console

In the bucket view, select the object and click Delete.

S3 API

aws --endpoint https://s3.filebase.com s3 rm s3://my-ipfs-bucket/photo.jpg

Bulk delete all objects in a bucket:

aws --endpoint https://s3.filebase.com s3 rm --recursive s3://my-ipfs-bucket/

Pinning Service API

curl -X DELETE \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN" \
  https://api.filebase.io/v1/ipfs/pins/<request-id>

Where <request-id> is the pin record ID returned by GET /v1/ipfs/pins.
