Swift : My files in Firebase Storage wouldn't be deleted - swift

Question

I've got an application which allow user to save some picture on firebase Storage.
I'm trying to allow user to delete this files from the app, and so also to delete it from the storage.
My code :
if let user = Auth.auth().currentUser{
// user is connect
let storRef = Storage.storage().reference()
let userID = Auth.auth().currentUser?.uid
storRef.child("Planes").child(userID!).child(dataME[indexPath.row].image).delete(completion: nil)
self.tableView.reloadData()
dataME.remove(at: indexPath.row)
}else{
fatalError("⛔️ error ...")
}
Now in this case the line in my tableView is totally deleted with the other part of my code the database references is also deleted but the storage doesn't erase the picture ... Why ?
Thank's a lot for your help

Answer 1

Check if you get error when you delete storage
let storageRef = Storage.storage().reference().child("Planes").child(userID!).child(dataME[indexPath.row].image)
storageRef.delete { (error) in
if error != nil{
print(error)
return
}
// else proceed
}

You should not search by image.
Instead try using download URL that firebase supply
you can get the URL from the firebase dashboard by clicking on storage and than clicking on the current image, there you can see the download image.
when you upload an image it returns callback with URL, you have to save the URL on your data structure
upload image example:
func uploadImagePic(img1 :UIImage){
var data = NSData()
data = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(img1!, 0.8)! as NSData
// set upload path
let filePath = "\(userid)" // path where you wanted to store img in storage
let metaData = FIRStorageMetadata()
metaData.contentType = "image/jpg"
self.storageRef = FIRStorage.storage().reference()
self.storageRef.child(filePath).put(data as Data, metadata: metaData){(metaData,error) in
if let error = error {
print(error.localizedDescription)
return
}else{
//store downloadURL
let downloadURL = metaData!.downloadURL()!.absoluteString
data[index].downloadURL = downloadURL
}
}
}
// delete example
let storage = Storage.storage()
let url = data[index].downloadURL
let storageRef = storage.reference(forURL: url)
storageRef.delete { error in
if let error = error {
print(error)
} else {
// File deleted successfully
}
}
