NAME
    gcloud storage rm - delete objects and buckets

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

DESCRIPTION
    Delete objects and buckets.

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

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

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

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

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

        $ some_program | gcloud 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.

     --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
