Delete a namespace

You can delete a namespace, but you must delete the buckets in the namespace first.

Prerequisites

This operation requires the System Administrator role in ECS.

Steps

  1. In the ECS Portal, select Manage > Namespace.
  2. On the Namespace Management page, locate the namespace that you want to delete in the table. Click Delete in the Actions column beside the namespace you want to delete.
    An alert displays informing you of the number of buckets in the namespace and instructs you to delete the buckets in the namespace before removing the namespace. Click OK.
  3. Delete the buckets in the namespace.
    1. Select Manage > Buckets.
    2. On the Bucket Management page, locate the bucket that you want to delete in the table. Click Delete in the Actions column beside the bucket you want to delete.
    3. Repeat step 4b. for all the buckets in the namespace.
  4. On the Namespace Management page, locate the namespace that you want to delete in the table. Click Delete in the Actions column beside the namespace you want to delete.
    Since there are no longer any buckets in this namespace, a message displays to confirm that you want to delete this namespace. Click OK.
  5. Click Save.
