# tGSBucketDelete Deletes an empty bucket in Google Cloud Storage so as to release occupied resources. Note that bucket deletion cannot be undone, so you need to back up any data that you want to keep before the deletion. ## tGSBucketDelete Standard properties These properties are used to configure tGSBucketDelete running in the Standard Job framework. The Standard tGSBucketDelete component belongs to the Big Data and the Cloud families. The component in this framework is available in all Talend products. ## Basic settings | Properties | Description | | --- | --- | | Use an existing connection | Select this check box and in the Component List click the
relevant connection component to reuse the connection details you
already defined. | | Credential type | Select the mode to be used to authenticate to your project.



To know more about the Google Cloud authentication process, read [the Google Cloud documentation](https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/). | | Service account key | Click the [...] button next to the service account key
field to browse for the JSON file that contains your service account key.

This property is only available when you authenticate using Service
account. | | OAuth Access Token | Enter an access token.

The lifetime of the token is one hour. The component
does not perform the token refresh operation but will fetch the new access token
to operate beyond the one-hour limit.


This property is only available when you
authenticate using OAuth Access Token. | | Bucket name | Specify
the name of the bucket that you want to delete. Make sure that the bucket to
be deleted is empty. | | Project ID | When the credential type is set to OAuth Access Token, specify the project ID
from which you want to delete objects. | | Die on error | This
check box is cleared by default, meaning to skip the row on error and to
complete the process for error-free rows. | ## Advanced settings | Properties | Description | | --- | --- | | Use a custom endpoint | Select this check box to use a private endpoint rather than the default one.

When selected, enter the URL in the Google Storage Private API
URL property, by respecting the following format:
"https://storage.goggleapis.com".

Statistics | Select this check box to gather the Job processing metadata at the Job level as well as at each component level. | ## Global Variables | Variables | Description | | --- | --- | | Global Variables | ERROR\_MESSAGE: the error message generated by the
component when an error occurs. This is an After variable and it returns a string. This
variable functions only if the Die on error checkbox is
