Files are still visible through an url

[Naveen_Srinivas]

Hi,

I am trying to delete few files which are stored on azure blob store and files are getting deleted as per response.

sample of code: await files.delete('publicxyz/publicfile.txt')

But post deletion still I can preview those files data through an url which was provided from IO.

Hi @Naveen_Srinivas - which URL are you referring to? presigned URL (containing token to a private file) or direct URL to the public file?

Was the file not deleted at all or was it a latency after the deletion until the URL returned a 404?

Hi @duypnguyen,  its direct URL to the public file.

File are deleted as per below logs but when I refresh or open public url still I can see data.

error: [FilesLib:ERROR_FILE_NOT_EXISTS] file `public%2FviberResponse01FDYHHS3M4CDV1NMWB7Q4174W.txt` does not exist

Thanks

Naveen

It says that you are trying to delete a non-existing file.

What's the string that you put here: await files.delete('publicxyz/publicfile.txt') ?

Hi @duypnguyen 

I got it, was using filename from url(which is encoded) instead of actual file name. Now am not able to see url. Thanks for the quick response.

Great. I'm glad it worked!
