You use the HTTP DELETE method to delete a container. To delete a container, you need to have a Keystone or local authentication token for the HSwift account in which the container exists.
You can delete a container only while it's empty. If you try to delete a container that contains any objects, HCP returns a 409 (Conflict) status code and does not delete the container.
