Gsutil - How to empty a GCS bucket

 Although I  couldn't find a 'gsutil' command to empty a bucket as such the following will remove and then we add the bucket. 

I've also add the code here for how to do this from an Airflow DAG . 

% gsutil -m rm -r gs://djem_photos

% gsutil -m mkdir gs://djem_photos

from airflow.operators import bash_operator bucket = 'gs://temp_gp_tasks'

with models.DAG(

'remove_files_from_gcs',

schedule_interval=None,

default_args=default_dag_args,

catchup=True) as dag:

remove_gcs_bucket = bash_operator.BashOperator(

task_id='remove_gcs_bucket',

bash_command='gsutil -m rm -r {bucket}'.format(

bucket=bucket))

recreate_gcs_bucket = bash_operator.BashOperator(

task_id='recreate_gcs_bucket',

bash_command='gsutil -m mkdir {bucket}'.format(

bucket=bucket))

remove_gcs_bucket >> recreate_gcs_bucket
