I’m using Scaleway object storage for nearly 2 years now, almost flawlessly, but for the first time S3_upload has timed out during the last rebuild, network issue? maybe… worked the second time, but it made me looked inside the bucket and I was surprised to see the assets piling up:
Although if there’s a lot of old asset files, deleting the old ones may save you a few cents in storage costs, but I wouldn’t consider that to be worth spending the time to remove the old ones.
I am using Object Storage for Uploads (S3 & Clones) and it used to be that I deleted the assets folder and run rebuild uploaded only the latest, current files again. But as you write you can rename the assets folder and run a rebuild to check everything works fine. After it creates and upload the new files you can delete the old assets folder.
