# Bucket Management: Deleting

A bucket should be empty before you can delete it.

> When you delete a bucket, all objects stored with the Wasabi service are subject to Wasabi’s minimum storage policy, which applies even if the bucket is deleted. For additional information, refer to [Wasabi Pricing](http://www.wasabi.com/pricing).

> Bucket log files that are mapped from other buckets will be deleted if configured already.

> You cannot delete non-empty compliance buckets.

> You cannot delete a bucket if it contains any object that has object lock enabled.
