**This page is only for existing customers of the Amazon Glacier service using Vaults and the original REST API from 2012.**

If you're looking for archival storage solutions, we recommend using the Amazon Glacier storage classes in Amazon S3, S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval, S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval, and S3 Glacier Deep Archive. To learn more about these storage options, see [Amazon Glacier storage classes](https://aws.amazon.com/s3/storage-classes/glacier/).

Amazon Glacier (original standalone vault-based service) is no longer accepting new customers. Amazon Glacier is a standalone service with its own APIs that stores data in vaults and is distinct from Amazon S3 and the Amazon S3 Glacier storage classes. Your existing data will remain secure and accessible in Amazon Glacier indefinitely. No migration is required. For low-cost, long-term archival storage, AWS recommends the [Amazon S3 Glacier storage classes](https://aws.amazon.com/s3/storage-classes/glacier/), which deliver a superior customer experience with S3 bucket-based APIs, full AWS Region availability, lower costs, and AWS service integration. If you want enhanced capabilities, consider migrating to Amazon S3 Glacier storage classes by using our [AWS Solutions Guidance for transferring data from Amazon Glacier vaults to Amazon S3 Glacier storage classes](https://aws.amazon.com/solutions/guidance/data-transfer-from-amazon-s3-glacier-vaults-to-amazon-s3/).

# Abort Multipart Upload (DELETE uploadID)
<a name="api-multipart-abort-upload"></a>

## Description
<a name="api-multipart-abort-upload-description"></a>

This command for multipart upload operation stops a multipart upload identified by the upload ID.

After the Abort Multipart Upload request succeeds, you cannot use the upload ID to upload any more parts or perform any other operations. Stopping a completed multipart upload fails. However, stopping an already-stopped upload will succeed, for a short time. 

This operation is idempotent. 

For information about multipart upload, see [Uploading Large Archives in Parts (Multipart Upload)](uploading-archive-mpu.md).

## Requests
<a name="api-multipart-abort-upload-requests"></a>

To stop a multipart upload, send an HTTP `DELETE` request to the URI of the `multipart-uploads` subresource of the vault and identify the specific multipart upload ID as part of the URI.

### Syntax
<a name="api-multipart-abort-upload-requests-syntax"></a>

```
1. DELETE /AccountId/vaults/VaultName/multipart-uploads/uploadID HTTP/1.1
2. Host: glacier.Region.amazonaws.com
3. Date: Date
4. Authorization: SignatureValue
5. x-amz-glacier-version: 2012-06-01
```

 

**Note**  
The `AccountId` value is the AWS account ID of the account that owns the vault. You can either specify an AWS account ID or optionally a single '`-`' (hyphen), in which case Amazon Glacier uses the AWS account ID associated with the credentials used to sign the request. If you use an account ID, do not include any hyphens ('-') in the ID.
