How can I delete an object from the Google Cloud Storage using PHP?

Question

Can someone tell me how to delete an object from the Google Cloud Storage using PHP?

I found how to add an object via

move_uploaded_file($gs_name, "gs://sample-storage/myfolder/new_file2.jpg");

get the public URL via

$public_url = CloudStorageTools::getPublicUrl("gs://sample-storage/myfolder/new_file2.jpg", true);

By importing the following as well

require_once 'google/appengine/api/cloud_storage/CloudStorageTools.php';
use google\appengine\api\cloud_storage\CloudStorageTools;

But how do you delete a file using PHP?

Can someone please share the code in PHP that works? Even using JavaScript if PHP doesn't implicitly support it.

From the delete_object example, you could try adding a function like this to your project:

function delete_object($bucketName, $objectName, $options = [])
{
    $storage = new StorageClient();
    $bucket = $storage->bucket($bucketName);
    $object = $bucket->object($objectName);
    $object->delete();
    printf('Deleted gs://%s/%s' . PHP_EOL, $bucketName, $objectName);
}

Then to delete the actual file, you could use the function like this:

delete_object('sample-storage', 'myfolder/new_file2.jpg');
