Answer

Deleting files from the client side is the quickest way.
 
Example:
If a bucket was created for Veeam data, delete the bucket and its data from the Veeam application.

Additional Information

  • If a large bucket with millions of objects need to be deleted, consider (for example) using scripts based on Boto3 for parallel deletions. There are many example scripts found online. As these are 3rd party tools, NetApp Support cannot assist with this.
  • StorageGRID 11.7 onwards has an option to empty / delete a bucket from the management interface. 
  • How objects are deleted
