Hi, I am uisng 15.2.7 on CentOS 8.1. I have a number of old buckets that are listed with # radosgw-admin metadata list bucket.instance but are not listed with: # radosgw-admin bucket list Lets say that one of them is: 'old-bucket' and its instance is 'c100feda-5e16-48a4-b908-7be61aa877ef.123.1' The bucket/instance is empty: # radosgw-admin bucket list --bucket old-bucket --bucket-id c100feda-5e16-48a4-b908-7be61aa877ef.123.1[] Again, if I ist the index pool I see the .dir object: # rados -p <indexpoool> ls | grep c100feda-5e16-48a4-b908-7be61aa877ef.dir.c100feda-5e16-48a4-b908-7be61aa877ef.123.1.N (an N for each shard) I THINK I can delete these old indices with the following two commands # radosgw-admin bi purge --bucket old-bucket --bucket-id c100feda-5e16-48a4-b908-7be61aa877ef.123.1# radosgw-admin metadata rm bucket.instance:old-bucket:c100feda-5e16-48a4-b908-7be61aa877ef.123.1 Am I correct? What if I have another zone in a multi site configuration? Will this suffice to remove the indices from both sites? I thought I better check herebefore doing this and causing myself grief. Thanks! -Chris
