Is there a faster way to delete a MinIO bucket than `mc rb`


I have a bucket in MinIO with 1M objects of about 8KiB. Which is stored on a single node (ec2 m5.large) with a single ec2 io2 disk .

If I delete the bucket using the following command, it takes an incredibly long time:

mc rb myminio/my-bucket-1 --force --dangerous

I was wondering if there is a way to delete a bucket in a faster / more efficient way.


Solution

  • Go to your buckets folder

    cd /var/minio/data
    

    Delete your bucket

    sudo rm -rf yourbucketname
    

    will delete bucket and its content

    then restart your minio service
