Learn how to delete entire buckets or large numbers of objects from buckets using CyberDuck.
The Filebase web dashboard supports deleting up to 1,000 objects at one time. In some situations, it may be tedious and time consuming to delete 1,000 objects at a time. The web dashboard also supports emptying an entire bucket. While this might be the fastest solution in some situations, others may require only certain files be deleted, not just everything within a bucket.
This guide will showcase how to use CyberDuck to delete multiple, entire buckets at one time, as well as delete multiple specific objects at once.
