Advanced Topics | Getting more out of Elm#

We believe that Elm should be simple to use, though we understand that the way people create, access, and share data can vary quite a bit. This page is intended to address some scenarios that might be beyond the scope of an average user but might provide extended utility to advanced (or simply curious!) power users of Elm.

Deleting Files#

Note

Elm is primarily intended for writing, not deleting data. A key element of Elm's design is protecting data from accidental deletion. Elm deliberately requires more steps to delete data than to write it, encouraging thoughtful data management. When deletions must happen, version control ensures that permanent deletions are intentional and targeted.

Elm is specifically designed to provide affordable long-term data storage, making permanent data deletion a rare occurrence. By default, bucket versioning is enabled on Elm, ensuring that you can delete an object version and restore it later if necessary. However, in some cases, it may be required to permanently remove data. Examples of such cases include:

  • Wrong data was uploaded and needs to be removed to correct the error
  • The data is confirmed to be no longer needed, such as outdated backups or redundant information
  • Storage optimization efforts require the deletion of obsolete or unnecessary files to free up space
  • Other legal or compliance reasons
  • In these instances, careful consideration should be given before permanently deleting the data on Elm
  • Permanently deleting files from the UI can be tedious

Versioning is currently turned on by default, and there may be certain versions you want to delete. For that reason, using the CLI to delete files from your bucket can be accomplished using the following tools.

Choosing the Right Tool#

Tool Description Best For Links
mc rm MinIO client command line utility Removing specific files and versions quickly MinIO MC Reference
GitHub MinIO Client (mc)
rclone delete Permanently delete objects with rclone tool Automating deletions with scripting and advanced filtering RClone Delete

boto3 The official AWS SDK for Python Programmatic and API-based deletion How do I delete a Versioned Bucket in AWS S3 Using the CLI

Using mc rm#

NOTE: Before running any commands, please visit the MinIO Client Setup page to ensure everything is configured correctly.

The MinIO client (mc) allows you to remove files or specific versions from your bucket. You can delete a file by specifying the file path and version ID if needed.

mc is available on Sherlock with the minio-client module

$ module load system minio-client
$ mc --version
  mc version RELEASE.2025-07-15T21-10-32Z (commit-id=8f7863f6a9d0dd624b06cfad7ba8ef92907da3c3)

Using rclone delete#

NOTE: Before running any commands, please visit the MinIO Client Setup page to ensure everything is configured correctly.

Rclone allows for bulk deletion and scripting, particularly useful when working with large sets of files.

List files and their versions#

$ rclone lsf --s3-versions my-elm:rc-test
background-SU-01-v2025-03-11-191407-850.jpg
background-SU-01.jpg
background-SU-02-v2025-03-11-190449-040.jpg

Perform a dry-run deletion of a single file#

$ rclone delete --s3-versions my-elm:rc-test/background-SU-01-v2025-03-11-191407-850.jpg --dry-run

Using boto3#

For Python users, the boto3 SDK allows programmatic deletion, uploads, and downloads of objects in an S3-compatible storage system.

Delete a file:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

from botocore.exceptions import ClientError

# Configure logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO, format='%(asctime)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s')

# Load Elm MinIO credentials from environment variables (similar to AWS)
aws_access_key_id = os.environ.get('AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID')
aws_secret_access_key = os.environ.get('AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY')

if not aws_access_key_id or not aws_secret_access_key:
    logging.error("AWS credentials not found in environment variables.")
    exit(1)

# Configure S3 resource
s3 = boto3.resource('s3',
