Deleting an External S3 Object Store
Delete reference to an external S3 object store that has been imported into the global namespace.
Prerequisites
If you are a fabric user, you can delete an external S3 object store if you are the owner of the imported S3 object store.
About this task
As a fabric manager, you can remove the reference to an external S3 object store from the global namespace. Once an imported external S3 object store is deleted, you are unable to access any objects that are present on the external S3 object store. The objects,however, are not deleted from the object store. Only the object store association with the Data Fabric global namespace is removed.
A fabric user that is the owner of an external S3 object store can delete the external S3 object store from the global namespace.

- Click the Delete option.
- Confirm the deletion of the external S3 object store.
Results
