Storage Delete Files

The contents of this page are based on the original Firebase Documentation

Of course you can also delete files from Cloud Storage.

Note: By default, Cloud Storage buckets require Firebase Authentication to upload files. You can change your Firebase Security Rules for Cloud Storage to allow unauthenticated access. Since the default Google App Engine app and Firebase share this bucket, configuring public access may make newly uploaded App Engine files publicly accessible as well. Be sure to restrict access to your Storage bucket again when you set up authentication.

Delete a File

To delete a file, first create a reference to that file. Then call the remove method on that reference.

// Create a reference to the file to delete
var desertRef:StorageReference = storageRef.child("desert.jpg");
desertRef.remove(function(error:StorageError):void{
    
});

Note: Deleting a file is a permenant action! If you care about restoring deleted files, make sure to back up your files, or enable Object Versioning on your Google Cloud Storage bucket.
