Scenario

To optimize storage space and minimize costs, you can manually delete unnecessary files from Zettabyte Object Storage (ZOS) through the console. Alternatively, you can set up lifecycle management policies to automatically remove objects periodically or remove objects all at once. For more information, see Lifecycle Management.

Restriction and Limitations

• When deleting a file folder, all files contained within it are also removed. Exercise caution when performing this operation.

• Without versioning enabled, deleted files cannot be restored. Exercise caution when performing this operation.

• Infrequent Access (IA) storage and Archive storage have limitations on the minimum storage duration. The limit for IA storage is 30 days while that for Archive storage is 90 days. You will still be billed until the minimum duration is reached even if you delete or overwrite the data in advance.
