Delete Linode Object Storage BASH Script

This technical article provides a detailed Bash script implementation for programmatically deleting all objects from a Linode Object Storage (S3-compatible) bucket. It covers AWS Signature Version 4 authentication using curl, XML parsing for paginated results, and includes safety features like dry-run mode. The script handles environment variables, cryptographic signing, and batch deletions up to 1000 keys per request.
