# Delete an Object From a Bucket

To delete an object from the bucket:

**Using the Console**

1. Select the required object.
    ![catalyst_stratus_object_options](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/help/stratus/catalyst_stratus_object_options.webp)

2. Click **Delete**.
    ![catalyst_stratus_delete_op_hilit](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/help/stratus/catalyst_stratus_delete_op_hilit.webp)

3. Click **Delete** in the prompt as well.
    ![catalyst_stratus_del_object_confirm_del](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/help/stratus/catalyst_stratus_del_object_confirm_del.webp)

The delete action will be scheduled, and it will take a short while before the operation is rendered in the console.

Delete operations can be performed on multiple objects and on multiple paths in the same manner.

You can also use the **Delete** button present in the object details view to delete the object.

    {
        object -> object.delete(
        {
            println("Object Deletion Success.")

    var (response, objects, _) = await bucket.getObjects(maxKeys: 5, prefix: 'trip');
    var response = await bucket.deleteObjects(objects);
    print("Delete Objects: ${response.statusCode}");
}
on ZCatalystException catch (ex) {
    print(ex.toString());
}

```

> **Note:** When you perform a delete operation on an object, and if it is the **only object** present in the particular path, then the **entire path will be deleted**. An empty path cannot exist in a bucket.
