# Delete a Bucket

You can only delete one bucket at a time. If you delete a bucket, all the objects present in the bucket will be deleted permanently.

> **Note:** If you delete a bucket, the name used for the bucket will become publicly available for use for all Catalyst users. You cannot immediately name another bucket with the same name of a bucket that is being deleted. The name will only be available after an indeterminate yet short time interval.

To delete a bucket:

1. Select the required bucket from the bucket list, click the **ellipsis icon** corresponding to the selected bucket, then click **Delete**.

2. Enter the bucket name in the input field and click **Confirm**.

The bucket will be deleted.
