# Deleting objects in buckets in Amazon S3 compatible storage on Snowball Edge
<a name="objects-delete-s3-snow"></a>

You can delete one or more objects from an Amazon S3 compatible storage on Snowball Edge bucket. The following example deletes an object named *sample-object.xml* using the AWS CLI. To use this command, replace each user input placeholder with your own information.

```
aws s3api delete-object --bucket sample-bucket --key key --endpoint-url s3api-endpoint-ip --profile your-profile
```

For more information about this command, see [delete-object](https://awscli.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/reference/s3control/delete-object.html) in the *AWS CLI Command Reference*.

The following Amazon S3 compatible storage on Snowball Edge example deletes an object in a bucket using the SDK for Java. To use this example, specify the key name for the object that you want to delete. For more information, see [DeleteObject](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_DeleteObject.html) in the Amazon Simple Storage Service API Reference.
