Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

If you're new to archival storage in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), we recommend that you start by learning more about the S3 Glacier storage classes in Amazon S3, S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval, S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval, and S3 Glacier Deep Archive. For more information, see S3 Glacier storage classes and Storage classes for archiving objects in the Amazon S3 User Guide.

Delete an Archive from a Vault in S3 Glacier by Using the Amazon SDK for .NET

The following C# code example uses the high-level API of the Amazon SDK for .NET to delete the archive that you uploaded in the previous step. In the code example, note the following:

  • The example creates an instance of the ArchiveTransferManager class for the specified Amazon S3 Glacier Region endpoint.

  • The code example uses the US West (Oregon) Region (us-west-2).

  • The example uses the Delete API operation of the ArchiveTransferManager class that's provided as part of the high-level API of the Amazon SDK for .NET.

For step-by-step instructions on how to run this example, see Running Code Examples. You must update the code as shown with the archive ID of the file that you uploaded in Step 3: Upload an Archive to a Vault in S3 Glacier.
