Hi when I delete the AWS S3 URL out of my application, the file remains on bubble’s AWS S3. I copied the URL deleted it out of my app and the URL still works. Does this mean that technically once a file i.e. a pdf is uploaded to bubble the file will remain on Bubble’s S3 server indefinitely? if this is the case I need to get a bunch of stuff deleted off the Bubble AWS S3 server ASAP!
You can use the file manager for this.
There’s two thing to consider
A) File deletion
B) Link to file. Link is stored in Bubble DB
A) To delete a file in AWS S3 Bubble storage, you need to use the action “Delete a file”. This action will delete the file in AWS, but not the link in Bubble DB
B) You will remove the link from Bubble DB using make change to a thing, but this will not delete the file in AWS S3.
So basically, you need to delete the reference to the file in Bubble DB and delete the file itself in AWS S3. Two actions are needed
