How do I delete files from Firebase Storage in a Vue.js app?

To delete files from Firebase Storage in a Vue.js app, you can use the Firebase SDK. First, ensure you have initialized Firebase in your project.

What code do I need to use to delete a specific file?

You can use the deleteObject method from the Firebase Storage reference. Here's an example:

const storageRef = firebase.storage().ref();
const fileRef = storageRef.child('path/to/your/file.jpg');

fileRef.delete().then(() => {
  console.log('File deleted successfully');
}).catch((error) => {
  console.error('Error deleting file:', error);
});

What happens if the file doesn't exist?

If the file doesn't exist, the deleteObject method will throw an error. You can handle this error in the catch block to inform the user.

Can I delete multiple files at once?

Yes, you can delete multiple files by calling deleteObject for each file reference in a loop or using Promise.all to handle them concurrently.
