Files are still accessible after they've been deleted in Google Cloud Storage, or when a new file with the same name has been uploaded

I'm using Google Cloud Storage and asp.net core 6.

To configure the Google cloud storage I used this article: https://medium.com/net-core/using-google-cloud-storage-in-asp-net-core-74f9c5ee55f5

Uploading and deleting a file all work fine.

The only problem I'm experiencing is that when I delete a file, that file is still accessible. (when I look in the bucket I can see that the file is actually gone).

So I tried deleting it manually on the Google cloud platform, but I keep getting the same problem. The image is still visible with the link.

Even when I upload a new image with the same name as the old one, when displaying or downloading the image it's still the old image.

I tried with different browsers, in case it might have something to do with caching but that didn't help either.

I also checked object versioning was off.

I can also see that inside the bucket the 'created date' does in fact change.

This sounds like the object is being stored in cache (either Google's cache, your browsers or potentially any proxy in-between).

Publicly shared objects default to being cacheable for 1 hour. After this, changes should be visible. If that is not acceptable to you set Cache-Control header/metadata to a shorter time or no-store.
