  • Replace RULE with the unique identifier of the lifecycle management rule. Use mc ilm rule ls to find the ID to use.

Required Permissions

For permissions required to remove a rule, refer to the required permissions on the parent command.

Behavior

S3 Compatibility

The mc commandline tool is built for compatibility with the AWS S3 API and is tested with MinIO and AWS S3 for expected functionality and behavior.

MinIO provides no guarantees for other S3-compatible services, as their S3 API implementation is unknown and therefore unsupported. While mc commands may work as documented, any such usage is at your own risk.
