- brianwski 7y agoDisclaimer: I work at Backblaze. > How do those customers ever delete anything? Click every single file? The current recommended work around is to write a very short "life cycle rule" in the web GUI that deletes any/all files 1 day after it is uploaded and let it run for 24 hours and come back to an empty bucket. Yes, I know this is lame. https://www.backblaze.com/b2/docs/lifecycle_rules.html https://www.backblaze.com/b2/docs/lifecycle_rules.html Just to be clear, there are two separate product lines at Backblaze: 1) Backblaze Personal Backup which is COMPLETELY automatic and you don't need to delete anything, ever, it is all automatic, and 2) Backblaze "B2" which is a toolkit for IT people and programmers. This is only a problem for the "B2" side, and the IT people and programmers (for now) can write a script or write the "life cycle rule". But we will get this fixed, it is on the roadmap.
- IfOnlyYouKnew 7y agoThanks! I wasn't clear about the distinction between those products. Given that information, it really isn't a major issue, if maybe a bit clunky.
