NAME
    gcloud alpha storage rm - delete objects and buckets

SYNOPSIS
    gcloud alpha storage rm [URLS ...] [--additional-headers=HEADER=VALUE]
        [--all-versions, -a] [--continue-on-error, -c]
        [--exclude-managed-folders] [--read-paths-from-stdin, -I]
        [--recursive, -R, -r]
        [--if-generation-match=GENERATION
          --if-metageneration-match=METAGENERATION] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]

DESCRIPTION
    (ALPHA) Delete objects and buckets.

EXAMPLES
    The following command deletes a Cloud Storage object named my-object from
    the bucket my-bucket:

        $ gcloud alpha storage rm gs://my-bucket/my-object

    The following command deletes all objects directly within the directory
    my-dir but no objects within subdirectories:

        $ gcloud alpha storage rm gs://my-bucket/my-dir/*

    The following command deletes all objects and subdirectories within the
    directory my-dir:

        $ gcloud alpha storage rm gs://my-bucket/my-dir/**

    Note that for buckets that contain versioned objects
    (https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/object-versioning), the above
    command only affects live versions. Use the --recursive flag instead to
    delete all versions.

    The following command deletes all versions of all resources in my-bucket
    and then deletes the bucket.

        $ gcloud alpha storage rm --recursive gs://my-bucket/

    The following command deletes all text files in the top-level of my-bucket,
    but not text files in subdirectories:

        $ gcloud alpha storage rm -recursive gs://my-bucket/*.txt

    The following command deletes one wildcard expression per line passed in by
    stdin:

        $ some_program | gcloud alpha storage rm -I

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
     [URLS ...]
        The URLs of the resources to delete.

FLAGS
     --additional-headers=HEADER=VALUE
        Includes arbitrary headers in storage API calls. Accepts a comma
        separated list of key=value pairs, e.g. header1=value1,header2=value2.
        Overrides the default storage/additional_headers property value for
        this command invocation.

     --all-versions, -a
        Delete all versions
        (https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/object-versioning) of an object.

     --continue-on-error, -c
        If any operations are unsuccessful, the command will exit with a
        non-zero exit status after completing the remaining operations. This
        flag takes effect only in sequential execution mode (i.e. processor and
        thread count are set to 1). Parallelism is default.

     --exclude-managed-folders
        Excludes managed folders from command operations. By default gcloud
        storage includes managed folders in recursive removals.

     --read-paths-from-stdin, -I
        Read the list of URLs from stdin.

     --recursive, -R, -r
        Recursively delete the contents of buckets or directories that match
        the path expression. If the path is set to a bucket, like gs://bucket,
        the bucket is also deleted. This option implies the --all-versions
        option. If you want to delete only live object versions, use the ``**''
        wildcard instead.

PRECONDITION FLAGS
     --if-generation-match=GENERATION
        Execute only if the generation matches the generation of the requested
        object.

     --if-metageneration-match=METAGENERATION
        Execute only if the metageneration matches the metageneration of the
        requested object.

GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
    These flags are available to all commands: --access-token-file, --account,
    --billing-project, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format,
    --help, --impersonate-service-account, --log-http, --project, --quiet,
    --trace-token, --user-output-enabled, --verbosity.

    Run $ gcloud help for details.

NOTES
    This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If this
    command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct
    project, you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early
    access allowlist. This variant is also available:

        $ gcloud storage rm
