Overview
This node allows you to remove (delete) an object from a specified bucket in a MinIO storage server. It is useful for automating the cleanup or management of files and objects stored in MinIO, such as deleting outdated backups, removing temporary files after processing, or managing user uploads.
Example scenarios:
- Automatically delete processed files from a MinIO bucket after workflow completion.
- Remove sensitive data objects upon user request.
- Clean up old log files or backups on a scheduled basis.

| Bucket | Resource Locator | The target bucket from which the object will be removed. You can select from a list or enter the bucket name manually. |
| Key | String | The unique key (name/path) of the object within the bucket that you want to remove. |
Output
The node does not return any specific output fields when removing an object. The output will simply pass through the input items, indicating successful execution if no error occurs. No additional JSON properties are added to the output.
